ClimaCell Launches Air Quality of Things, Hyper-Accurate Air Quality Forecasts. Partners with Via to Offer New Yorkers Discounts When Travelling to "Clean Air Gems" Across New York City.
"At Via we have always believed that we're smarter together and that everyone wins when you share your ride, which is why we are proud to partner with ClimaCell to encourage New Yorkers to come together for clean air breaks across the city," said Alex Lavoie, Via's U.S. General Manager. "Via's sophisticated passenger matching algorithms allow us to achieve meaningful utilization of seats, a key component to eliminating single occupancy vehicles on the roads as a step towards reduced congestion and emissions for a greener, cleaner New York City ."
Air quality is a growing concern worldwide, for people, businesses, cities, governments and environmental organizations. And yet, accurate air quality information remains elusive. Many areas in the world simply have no air quality data. In others, air quality information is focused on pollutants, with minimal, if any, analysis of how air quality is impacted by changing weather conditions.
ClimaCell is leveraging its hyper-accurate, street-by-street, minute-by-minute weather forecasts to provide a new level of clarity on air quality. We take Weather-of-Things data - from wireless signals to connected cars, airplanes, drones and IoT devices - make sense of it using proprietary, high-resolution models, and then analyze air pollutants, including Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5), via this lense. The result is Air Quality of Things: the first hyper accurate, street-level view of air quality, worldwide.
"Air quality impacts everyone's lives in ways big and small, and the recent fires in the Amazon are just one reminder of its impact," commented Shimon Elkabetz , the CEO and Co-Founder of ClimaCell. "ClimaCell is uniquely positioned to leverage its one-of-a-kind Weather Operating System to provide historical, real-time, and forecasts of air quality anywhere in the world." Elkabetz added: "We're delighted to be celebrating this launch by partnering with Via, a company that is working every day to make transportation more efficient and our world greener. At the end, knowledge is power, and we hope that people, businesses and municipalities can leverage this accurate air quality information to avoid (or address) air quality issues, and also seek out and enjoy places with good air quality."
Industries from transportation and on-demand companies to technology apps and outdoor events can use ClimaCell's air quality information to notify their customers of changing air quality conditions, enhance engagement, customize and differentiate their products, and seize business opportunities. Cities and municipalities can use the information to provide residents with real-time and forecast information on air quality and use the information to take corrective steps where air quality is poor. And anyone who wants some clean air can use ClimaCell's air quality information to find the air quality gems anywhere in the world.
