Denver wins $1 million due to Canary Air Series Some of the recommendations included rethinking carpool lines to cut down on idling cars, and changing recess times and playground locations based on traffic patterns near schools. With this data, they made recommendations for improvements. Lunar Outpost started with ten elementary schools, collecting air data to understand the impact of traffic patterns and congestion. Collecting actionable air quality data in Denver schoolsĪfter much development, they created the Canary Series : a series of air quality monitoring systems that can be deployed individually or by the thousands to collect air quality data. This enabled them to create several highly localized sensors networks instead of just building a big model that covered an entire city. Lunar Outpost also lev eraged the Particle Device Cloud to send data to multiple customers at a time. Lunar Outpost initially used the Particle Electron to connect their systems to the Internet over cellular networks, but have since moved up to the Particle E Series, which is designed for long-term cellular deployments. Particle allowed us to build more efficiently and get our technology out there.” Air Quality Program Manager Michael Ogletree installing a Canary-S “Hologram didn’t have a responsive community or much suppo rt for its hardware and firmware. “We transitioned to Particle for its connectivity, and for its community, which was eager to offer near-real-time feedback to help us with development,” said Cyrus.
That’s when Lunar Outpost pivoted to Particle. When developing the pilot, Lunar Outpost used Hologram, but experienced issues collecting data due to poor cellular connectivity. Particle helps with connectivity and community In fact, according to the city’s website, “Denver families spend an average of $3,100 a year on asthma-related medical costs, resulting in more than $30 million spent annually.” Cyrus and his team thought this would be a great opportunity to really get involved in the community and create a positive impact.
“Children have one chance to grow healthy lungs, and air pollution is causing our kids to experience serious health problems” - Denver Mayor Michael Hancockĭenver wanted to create this system because more than 9,000 students in their public schools have a current asthma diagnosis.
