Canada’s most dynamic air quality data—collected in motion.

While most air quality monitors sit in fixed positions, LIVESENS takes a different approach: we collect real-time environmental data directly from moving fleets. Our modular sensor suite, Remora, transforms any vehicle into a rolling environmental sensor—capturing hyperlocal, block-by-block air quality insights as it drives through cities, suburbs, and industrial corridors.

What air quality data does LIVESENS collect?

LIVESENS provides live, structured air quality data streamed through flexible APIs—ready to plug into your planning, monitoring, or climate response stack.

🚗 Fleet-Mounted, Not Stationary

Instead of relying on sparse, static stations, LIVESENS deploys on vehicles you already own—public works fleets, transit buses, service vans, and more. This lets you:


  • Map pollution on every block, not just near fixed monitors

  • Detect emissions hotspots, construction impacts, or urban canyons

  • Identify inequities in air quality exposure across neighborhoods

🔐 Built-In Privacy. Zero Raw Video.

Our sensors process everything on-device—blurring faces and plates in real-time and never storing raw video. Remora is fully compliant with PIPEDA, GDPR, and municipal privacy standards by default.

🇨🇦 Built for Canada’s Urban Fabric
