The AQM 60 from Quixote Transportation Technologies (QTT) is an air quality monitoring system designed to measure a wide range of air quality parameters in a cost-effective, compact package. The system measures the top six pollutants considered harmful by the US Environmental Protection Agency and integrates with road weather information systems, advisory radio systems and ITS software platforms to provide weather, traffic and air quality data on one system.
As QTT points out, monitoring air quality data near roadways can assist with pollution mapping and control; detecting emissions from traffic flow, in tunnels, and near construction projects; environmental impact assessments, urban land use planning; and community health programmes (alerting the public about poor air quality).
