Reduce exposure to urban air pollution through intelligent route planning
Problem
Air pollution: the greatest environmental health threat of our time
Air pollution causes 7 million annual deaths world-wide, and is one of the biggest concerns for consumers – “clean air everywhere” is one of the top 10 global consumer trends. Air pollution particularly affects elderly, chronically ill, children and pregnant women who are also some of the most likely groups to commute by walking.
