Air Quality Monitoring with Smart Luminaires - A Sustainable Solution for Healthier Cities

As cities grow and traffic intensifies, air pollution becomes one of today’s most pressing urban challenges. A large part of this pollution comes from the combustion of fossil fuels in vehicles, especially in areas with high traffic density.

To effectively address this issue, it is essential to have accurate, real-time data on air quality near roads and urban zones. This is where Omniflow’s smart luminaires with integrated air quality sensors come in — a sustainable and effective solution for cities that want to breathe better.

📊 What does the air quality sensor measure?

Installed in Omniflow’s smart luminaires, the sensor monitors:

• Particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10): airborne particles generated by traffic, industrial activity, construction, dust, or even pollen.

• Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂): a harmful gas mainly emitted by road traffic.

  
  

The precision of these sensors enables a comprehensive, real-time view of urban pollution, supporting more accurate diagnoses and more effective actions.

📈 Data that drives better decisions

The data collected by the sensors is sent to Omniflow's servers and made available through the OmniConnect platform. There, users can intuitively:

• View the current air quality levels

• Track how air quality evolves over time

• Correlate pollution data with traffic patterns when combined with mobility analytics systems

This enables municipalities, smart city operators, and large-scale facilities to act based on concrete data — promoting real improvements in public health and community well-being.

🌱 Why integrate sensors into luminaires?

Integrating air quality sensors into Omniflow smart luminaires offers multiple advantages:

• Infrastructure efficiency: Use existing poles to expand environmental monitoring without installing additional standalone devices.

• Sustainability: Powered by wind and solar energy, Omniflow luminaires save over 90% of energy and help avoid CO₂ emissions.

• Modularity: The sensors are part of a smart system that can also include cameras, EV chargers, and other digital urban services.

Omniflow’s smart luminaires with air quality sensors represent an innovative, practical, and eco-friendly approach to urban environmental monitoring. More than just a technology, they are a strategic tool for cities aiming to grow sustainably, placing citizens' health at the heart of decision-making.
