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.

    According to two university researchers, UK transport planning is not sufficiently taking into account the environmental impacts of transport choices. Their report, which is due to be presented at the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) Annual International Conference today, says that road transport is the principal cause of air pollution in over 95 per cent of legally designated “Air Quality Management Areas” in the UK. Current estimates are that over 50,000 deaths a year can be attributed to air polluti
