This provides more accurate readings on the move, with the need for fewer access points to cover the whole area of a city.
The LoRa (Long Range) trackers will track the location of the Gophr couriers via satellite without having to use mobile Location Based Services which drain battery life. The collected data is anonymised and fed into the CleanSpace mobile application, alongside other Tag users’ data, to provide users with personal and actionable air pollution data.
With the couriers predicted to travel over 17,000 miles each month, the amount of indoor and outdoor air pollution data collected will be on a scale that has never been achieved previously. The carbon monoxide data collected from the CleanSpace Tags will feed into the Air Map, an interactive map that will show the pollution levels at the location of each courier, in real time. Further organisations, groups and individuals will be equipped with CleanSpace Tags in the coming weeks and months in order to collect data, gather insights and help address the issue of air pollution in the capital. Gophr and Inmarsat are initial partners announced in Drayson Technologies’ plan to create an advanced air pollution map of a city.

The couriers will also be equipped with LoRa trackers by Inmarsat, the global mobile satellite communications services provider enabling highly accurate, real time location and height data to be collected on the move.ĭrayson Technologies is an internet of things platform company based in London, UK, who has developed proprietary wireless charging technology and machine learning software to create smart sensor networks that deliver tangible business value for customers. The couriers, based in London, will map pollution levels on their journeys across the capital, collecting data that will help to build a real-time map of London’s air pollution as they carry out their same-day deliveries.
DRAYSON TECHNOLOGIES CLEAN SPACE PORTABLE
UK courier company Gophr will equip 50 of its bicycle couriers with CleanSpace Tags – portable air pollution sensors created by Drayson Technologies that are powered by its revolutionary Freevolt technology. Drayson Technologies recently announced plans to build an advanced air pollution map, for Greater London, and entered into new partnerships with Gophr and Inmarsat to achieve this aim.
