EarthSense app identifies clean air routes

company says the application could also help wider clean air strategies when combined with population movement data. According to EarthSense, collating this data would allow key decision-makers to identify popular exercise routes and target resources to improve air quality at these locations.

UK-based air quality specialist 8834 EarthSense is developing an app which will identify and map clean air routes for people cycling or exercising. The company says the application could also help wider clean air strategies when combined with population movement data.

According to EarthSense, collating this data would allow key decision-makers to identify popular exercise routes and target resources to improve air quality at these locations.

The app is being funded by the European Space Agency’s grant programme Project CARAMEL (Clean Air Routing and Mobile Exposure Limitation).

The CARAMEL app uses space-based data, traffic simulation data, open data and public transport data with big data analytics. The solution will feature an air quality data model and routing system, an online mapping portal as well as reports on weekly pollution levels.

    EarthSense Systems reveals cleaner air routes in city-wide project
    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.
