Wi-NOx™

IoT Pollution Monitoring for Vehicles

Real-time Business Intelligence for Transportation Managers and Drivers

Up to 15% savings from operational efficiencies

Wi-NOx™ Real-Time Mobile Pollution Monitoring System

Vehicle emissions are more than just pollution. They contain unique data signatures that are rich with information about the driver, the vehicle, the fuel, the pollution and the environmental impact. At SensorComm, we extract, analyze and transform those data signatures into real-time business intelligence for transportation managers and drivers.

PROBLEM: NOx is a pollutant coming from the tailpipe of vehicles contributing to millions of premature worldwide deaths each year. Asthma, cancer and heart disease (accelerators for COVID-19 mortality) have shown significant increases as a result of NOx pollution. Mobile sources are responsible for up to 80% of NOx emissions. Since we don’t know who (specifically) is polluting, how can we fix it?

SOLUTION: Wi-NOx™ is SensorComm’s IoT-based (Internet-of-Things) mobile pollution monitoring system that captures the real-time pollution footprint of vehicles and delivers operational efficiencies to transportation managers and drivers that include fuel savings, predictive maintenance and performance optimization. The system monitors NOx emissions at the point of origin (vehicle tailpipe) where pollution enters the environment. The IoT-based system also deploys significant technology in artificial intelligence (AI), spectrum sensing and machine learning (ML) algorithms to extract information from the time series data. The system employs a data surety strategy that was developed in part from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program.* Business use cases have been developed for fleet, delivery, waste, transport, mass-transit and consumer vehicles. Global rollout is underway.

This work was partially supported by SBIR grant number 1632498 from the National Science Foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions: Wi-NOx™

Why is it valuable?

Vehicle emissions are more than just pollution. They contain unique data signatures that are rich with information about the driver, the vehicle, the fuel, the pollution and the environmental impact. At SensorComm, we extract, analyze and transform those data signatures into real-time business intelligence for transportation managers and drivers.

How much does it cost?

Wi-NOx™ uses a subscription-based payment model. Monthly/annual subscription rates are based on each region’s program plan. Deployment costs can be provided after initial evaluation of your project.

How is it installed?

The Rapid Mobile Install Kit™ installs in about 5 minutes and allows for rotation of Wi-NOx™ units to multiple vehicles. The sensor is installed at the vehicle tailpipe. IoT hardware can be placed in the vehicle trunk or other secure location. Power is typically obtained from the vehicle accessory outlet or can be direct wired in more permanent installations.

Is vehicle pollution a big deal?

Yes, it is. Attempts to reduce vehicular pollution have failed worldwide. Mandatory inspections, odd-even license plate restrictions, bike paths and road closings have all failed to reduce vehicular pollution. It was only during worldwide COVID-19 shutdowns when (in the absence of traffic) air pollution cleared for the first time in cities worldwide (like New Delhi, India).

Why now?

Climate change is demanding innovative business solutions. Wi-NOx™ is designed for transportation managers who are investing in IoT solutions that provide operational efficiencies and contribute to cleaner air, lower healthcare costs and improved quality of life.

Where is it being used?

Applicability studies have been completed on four continents. Ongoing implementation programs have been initiated in the U.S., Asia and South America. Interest has been secured in over 30 separate markets worldwide. Global rollout is underway.
