Challenge<\/span><\/h2><\/h1><\/div>Rome ‘ s 2.8 million residents face major air pollution challenges. Traditional monitoring systems are expensive and offer little coverage, limiting real-time, local and relevant information. Citizens need accurate data close to their daily areas, but remote sites do not reflect the urban reality. The city is looking for a cost-effective, scalable and efficient solution to monitor and improve its air quality.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
Solution<\/span><\/h2><\/h1><\/div>The MappingAir project uses the Bettair platform to change monitoring in Rome. With inexpensive and accurate sensors, together with advanced algorithms, pollution is mapped in high spatial and temporal resolution. The sensors, integrated into streetlights and street furniture, work with technological alliances to provide real-time data. This enables visualization, prediction and communication, helping to improve routes and reduce sources of pollution.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
