Low-cost sensors for air quality measurement

Autostrada del Brennero installed low-cost sensors to monitor air quality in the framework of dynamic speed reduction measures.

From 2016 to 2021 Autostrada del Brennero coordinated the European project BrennerLEC (Brenner Lower Emissions Corridor), co-funded by the European Commission. Its main aim was the creation of a lower emissions corridor (LEC) along the A22 motorway section through the Trentino-Alto Adige region, by implementing on an experimental basis dynamic traffic management systems for the improvement of air quality, climate protection and noise protection in some pilot sections (LEZ – lower emission zones).
