Challenge
Lüdenscheid, in Germany, sought to improve urban mobility and sustainability through digitization. As part of the”Digitalization of Municipal Traffic Systems ” (DKV) funding program, the city needed to deploy an integrated sensor network to monitor air quality, weather and traffic. Bettair nodes were chosen to provide high-resolution, real-time data on pollutants and environmental conditions, thus improving decision-making and urban management.
Solution
Within the urban digitalization plan of Lüdenscheid, 15 Bettair nodes were installed in a LoRaWAN environment together with weather and traffic sensors. These nodes, without the need for calibration, monitor NO₂, O₃, NO, CO, PM₁, PM₂.₅, PM₁₀, as well as temperature, humidity, pressure and noise. The Bettair Cloud platform offers intuitive visualizations and real-time analytics, facilitating effective interventions in traffic and environmental management. Integration into the city network promotes a holistic view, improving mobility, air and climate conditions, thus supporting sustainable development.
