These devices are being placed in strategic locations such as Galicia Street at the corner of Víctor Hugo and Manuel González Martín Street at the corner of Pío XII. These areas, characterized by high daily activity, will allow for real-time monitoring of environmental conditions, providing crucial data for urban management.
The sensors, which incorporate Bettair® technology, are capable of registering a wide range of parameters. These include suspended particles (PM1, PM2.5, and PM10), polluting gases such as NO₂, O₃, CO, and SO₂, as well as noise levels, temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. All this information is automatically transmitted to a digital platform.
The digital platform processes the received data, transforming it into maps and visualizations that facilitate its analysis and understanding. This tool is essential for identifying areas with higher exposure to pollutants and for making quick and informed decisions in the management of the Low Emission Zone (ZBE) and in the implementation of public health measures. Furthermore, the devices operate with solar panels, ensuring their autonomy and energy sustainability.
“"Having real-time data improves urban mobility planning and public space management. This information is essential to anticipate needs, base decisions, and move towards a healthier city prepared for current environmental challenges."
The municipal company Sagulpa leads this project, reaffirming its commitment to the transformation of urban mobility. The integration of this technology seeks to optimize management and strengthen the sustainable city model. The deployment of these sensors will be carried out progressively, with the aim of expanding the monitoring network at various points in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, thus consolidating a commitment to cleaner mobility and a city that uses data to improve the quality of life of its residents.
