AIR MI is a service designed to mitigate cyclists' exposure to air pollution by integrating IoT sensors into the Bike Mi bike-sharing network. These sensors, in conjunction with fixed monitoring stations, provide real-time air quality data across the city, empowering cyclists to make informed route choices.
Goal: The primary objective of AIR MI is to enhance cyclists' health by reducing their exposure to air pollutants through data-driven route recommendations and fostering a community for knowledge sharing.
Approach: The project combines IoT technology, real-time navigation, and user engagement to address pollution concerns. AIR MI offers three key functionalities: air quality monitoring via "Air Coach", smart route recommendations through "Smart Healthy Navigation", and a community-driven platform through "Eco Bike Community". The approach was based on user research, field studies, and iterative design testing.
Urban cyclists are often unaware of air pollution levels on their routes, which can lead to significant health risks.
The project demonstrates the effectiveness of integrating environmental data into urban mobility solutions, showing that real-time, data-driven tools can enhance the cycling experience while promoting sustainable commuting.
