BreezoMeter has demonstrated that its real-time air quality platform provides insights to smart cities on vehicle emissions, when combined with Parkeon’s latest Park & Breathe smart metres.

This was demonstrated by Israel-based big data analytics company BreezoMeter and French company Parkeon at the Intertraffic show in Amsterdam.

Parkeon’s Park & Breathe solution is integrated with air quality sensors that help gain insights on vehicle emissions, as well as pollution levels.

"We’re thrilled to demonstrate the range of what’s possible in fighting the invisible enemy of air pollution."

These sensors, installed in the parking solutions provider’s new smart metres, will enable a smart city to easily and economically measure its sensor numbers and increase the number of data points, improving the precision of air quality readings.

BreezoMeter’s advanced technology will help indicate the optimal placement of Parkeon’s air quality sensors in a city that is deployed with the parking metres.

BreezoTool, which is the BreezoMeter software platform, aggregates the air quality data collected from the sensors in the new parking metres, as well as data from existing sensors.

BreezoTool then uses its data analysis capability to generate a comprehensive, real-time and dynamic picture of the air quality data in the city.

BreezoMeter co-founder and chief marketing officer Ziv Lautman said: "We’re thrilled to demonstrate the range of what’s possible in fighting the invisible enemy of air pollution.

"Currently part of the problem for cities is putting together an accurate picture of their air quality data, in real-time, partly because of sensor placement.

"The location, type and the number of sensors is critical in getting the full picture of air quality.

"Our system accounts for these variables, and, using our cutting edge dispersion analysis we are able to provide actionable and real-time information."

BreezoTool provides real-time data to smart cities, thereby enabling them to take immediate actions to reduce air pollution in the regions.

The platform has the ability to locate areas where the pollution in the air is likely to increase over a next few hours, thereby enabling the city officials to either reduce or reroute traffic flow in those areas.
