Summary/Accomplishments (Outputs/Outcomes):
Conclusions:
Through expert customer and key opinion leader interviews we have gained more insight into market opportunities and have defined a basic plan for releasing new products to meet the demands of various applications. We proposed multiple product variants to ensure wider commercial feasibility of the equipment while still enabling measurements in proximity to wildfires. We have made connections for future demonstrations, testing and field evaluations. The feedback from interviews and other market research stressed the value of other product applications over the wildfire source application. A Black Carbon and UV Particulate Matter, Multi-gas, Multi-pollutant Sensor Platform was developed and demonstrated. A data management and visualization system with data transmission over wireless was implemented and tested. Market analysis was carried out with key-opinion leader interviews, the result of which has directed our commercialization plan with a focus towards different application targets.
