The University of Bristol has teamed up with Voi and West of England Combined Authority to try to better understand pollution in Bristol. We have designed a pollution sensor integrates with Voi e-scooters, collecting pollution data as the vehicle is ridden around.
To-date, we have produced a proof of concept device and demonstrated that it can be integrated into the scooters. We are now about to deploy 30 prototype units around Bristol using a cohort of volunteer riders.
We hope that in time the data collected will help generate a near-real-time pollution map of Bristol.
