Smart-En-Route – a new way to monitor the air quality

Nowadays, we pay more and more attention to the quality of the air we breathe. Air pollution is no longer just a matter of distant industrial cities – it affects our health and quality of life no matter where we are. So how can we effectively monitor air quality so that real changes can be made where they are most needed? The answer is Smart-En-Route – a project that takes air measurements to a whole new level.

What is Smart-En-Route?

Smart-En-Route is an innovative air quality monitoring system that uses precise, mobile sensors attached to vehicles traveling in cities and rural areas. Thanks to this technology, we can monitor air pollution on a much larger scale than conventional, stationary measuring stations. In addition, our data is collected in real time, allowing us to create dynamic maps of air pollution in different locations.

How does Smart-En-Route work?

Our solution is based on advanced air quality sensor technology that is installed in vehicle fleets. These sensors measure various air parameters, including PM2.5 and PM10 levels, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants and parameters. Unlike static monitoring stations that cover a limited area, Smart-En-Route collects data on a much larger scale, covering busy streets, housing estates and green areas.

Our technology consists of three key elements:

  1. Precise sensors – These are installed on moving vehicles and allow measurements to be taken in many locations and at different heights.
  2. Real-time data analysis – Data is continuously collected and sent to a central database where it is analysed and visualized on maps.
  3. b – Institutions and partners have access to dynamic reports that enable rapid response and long-term planning of measures to improve air quality.

Our solution not only offers unprecedented measurement accuracy, but also flexibility that allows the system to be adapted to different requirements, such as monitoring air pollution during rush hours or near industrial areas.

Challenges in air quality monitoring

Like any new technology, Smart-En-Route had to face certain challenges. One of these was the need to develop solutions that are robust and reliable enough to work in different weather conditions and in areas with varying degrees of urbanization.

The main challenges:

  1. Technology integration – The sensors must not only be accurate, but also easy to install and maintain. We have selected these models that offer an optimal balance between accuracy and durability.
  2. Big data management – Every day, we collect huge amounts of data that need to be analyzed and made understandable for our users. To this end, we have developed our algorithms to process the data quickly and efficiently.
  3. Diversity of terrain – Not all terrains are the same. Cities, villages, green areas – each of these areas has different requirements in terms of air quality and the need to monitor it. With our mobile sensors, we can respond to the specific needs of each location.

The quality of the air we breathe affects our health and quality of life. Thanks to the Smart-En-Route project, we now have access to highly accurate data that can make a real difference. It's time to act - together we can create a cleaner and healthier environment for us all.

💚 Let us start taking care of the air we breathe.
