"Now that we have collected a couple of years of data, we are starting a new phase of our project, which is analyzing the data and drafting our first reports. Clarity is helping us put together two internal reports and two public reports. In terms of internal reports, the first one is purely technical and allows our team to be more efficient and proactive in the maintenance of our network. As an example, it allows us to have 95% of our sites with uptimes greater than 95%. The second internal report aims to support our public policy team to advocate and influence for taking actions for better and cleaner air in WA, Western Australia.”

"Clarity provided an off-the-shelf solution that was easy to deploy. Clarity Nodes are easy to set up and after reviewing a co-location we had in place, the data was in line with our expectations. The flexibility in changing the data capture rate was key — I was able to remotely configure the nodes to collect data at a higher or lower resolution as needed."

At RAC we're all about leading change for the better — and what could be more important than having cleaner air to breathe for current and future generations of Western Australians?

"We don’t have a lot of staff time to spend setting up or fine-tuning this equipment — Clarity’s managed service model allows us to multiply the number of sensors in our network with minimal additional overhead on our end. We're going from six particulate matter monitors to more than 20 — with one placed in each local municipality — so we expect to have more granularity in looking at how smoke impacts people across our three-county jurisdiction."

"The data provided by the sensors helped to speed up the city’s decision-making. Today, the sensor readings have had a direct impact on public opinion. This year, we launched public ecological transport and eco-taxi, and we are launching a new system of dedicated public transport lanes that will directly affect the transition to eco-friendly modes of transportation.”

“We chose Clarity because they provided up-to-date, local, scientifically-backed, and relevant data to make decisions about whether to keep students inside. Because of the geography and demographics in our county, the official air monitoring stations are about an hour away with hills in between, providing irrelevant data. We would have poor air quality and the official stations would be cleared; or the official stations would show heavy particulate levels and we would have clean air."
