Parking technology specialist 251 Parkeon has developed a module for its Strada range of terminals that captures air quality data, enabling authorities to monitor levels of particulate matter and pollutants such as CO2. According to the company, its parking terminals are capable of integrating with smart third party systems, including supporting environmental monitoring technology.

Parkeon’s terminal-based ‘Park & Breathe’ system integrates air quality and noise sensors within the solar-powered Strada terminal and relays the data to a secure portal that can be accessed by environmental authorities.

    A project has been launched to produce city-wide visualisations of air quality through combining EarthSense Systems' (ESS) ordnance survey (OS) geospatial data and real-time air quality data. The technology, a joint venture between Bluesky and University of Leicester, is being used to highlight areas of higher pollution and allows users to identify cleaner air routes such as parks or canal routes. ESS captures measurements on air quality through using a zephyr sensor and a city-wide network of sensors.
