Oizom’s Polludrone was stationed at a crucial tunnel connecting Jeddah with the holy city Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Due to high vehicular activity during the holy month of Ramadan, the tunnel faces excessive air pollution. A network of Polludrone was deployed throughout the length of the tunnel to identify peak pollution hours and provide data-driven solutions. The real-time air pollution monitoring data provided with actionable insights and helped in optimizing the tunnel ventilation systems. Integrating real-time monitoring data from Polludrone to the ventilation system resulted in significant pollution reduction. Check out the case study here. Oizom has a wide range of monitoring devices to offer, to suit all kinds of monitoring requirements. All the monitoring devices are highly scalable and integratable. We not only provide air quality monitoring but also provide accurate data visualization and mapping tools. Such insightful data facilitates data-driven automation and helps in making informed decisions for all purposes.

AIR POLLUTION MONITORING IN TUNNELS AND PARKING LOTS
Tunnels are crucial road infrastructure.
Thousands of miles long tunnels support
transportation of millions of vehicles around
the world.
They save a lot of time and fuel and provide
reliable rail and road transportation in all
seasons.
However, enclosed underground
infrastructure such as tunnels and parking
lots exhibit a very different environment than
an ambient one.
Due to which, tunnels and parking lots
frequently experience higher than normal
pollution levels.

AIR POLLUTION MONITORING IN TUNNELS AND PARKING LOTS
HOW UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE IS
DIFFERENT THAN AMBIENT ONE
The free flow of fresh air is absent inside any
enclosed environment such as tunnel or
underground parking lot.
Air pollutants emitted from vehicular
activities are not diluted by fresh ambient air.
Such accumulation of harmful air pollutants
causes many problems, including health
complications and increased road-accident
hazards.

THE CAUSE
An environment where inside polluted
air is not exchanged with fresh air causes
serious health issues. Exposure to
pollution is unusually high in such a
condition.
Another very serious issue of poor
ventilation of polluted air is road-traffic
accidents. Sometimes during high
vehicular traffic, pollutants trapped
inside tunnels may also cause visibility
issues.
That increases accident hazards.

SOLUTION - AIR POLLUTION MONITORING
The fundamental reason for all these
problems mentioned above is the lack of
ventilation in enclosed and underground
infrastructure.
If adequate and efficient ventilation is
provided, these problems can be easily solved.
But for these systems to work efficiently, we
must have a clear idea about the
concentration of air pollutants present in the
tunnel or parking lot.
A clear understanding of the presence of air
pollutants, its extent, concentration and trend
helps in fine tuning and optimizing our
ventilation systems.

NEED OF AIR POLLUTION MONITORING IN
TUNNELS AND PARKING LOTS
With the help of this pollution data , the
ventilation system can be fine-tuned so that
adequate ventilation can be maintained all
the time.
By integrating real-time air quality monitoring
data with ventilation systems, high ventilation
efficiency can be achieved.
This ensures that enclosed spaces such as
tunnels and parking lots are adequately
ventilated all the time, even during high
vehicular traffic.
