This solution is aligned with feature 39 “Measurement of environmental parameters” of the Smart Tourism Destination Platform.

Due to the increase in the population in cities, environmental, light or acoustic pollution tends to increase. Consequently, monitoring these parameters is increasingly common in order assess the quality of life in cities.

One parameter to which special consideration must be paid is air quality, as minimising air pollution is a priority in population hubs. As a consequence, it is necessary to develop new technological solutions that help mitigate this problem. Real-time monitoring of pollution data allows metropolitan areas to analyse the current traffic situation in the city and make decisions accordingly.

This solution makes it possible to detect polluting particles including but not limited to PM2.5 as well as measuring gases such as CO, CO2, CO3, NO, NO2, H2S y SO2. In addition, the collected data can be viewed on a visualisation platform that helps entities make decisions in real time about the state of cities, and implement better urban planning. The solution’s benefits are as follows:

• Effective compliance with regulations.
• Improved energy efficiency.
• Reduction in decision-making times when taking measures to preserve environmental quality.
• Generation of more accurate data on environmental quality in cities.
• Increased transparency by making information available to citizens.

Finally, thanks to an analytical layer and the solution’s predictive capabilities, it is to be able to predict the state of air quality based on data from the sensors.
