In-Use Measurement Of Locomotive Emissions, Matt Breuer
In-Use Measurement Of Locomotive Emissions, Matt Breuer
Summer Research
The Environmental Protection Agency’s newest emissions standards set into law in 2004, which took effect in 2010, limited the level of emissions that locomotives are allowed to produce. For the most part, these standards have been verified in the laboratory and not while the locomotives were in actual use. My research looked at the emissions from these locomotives in-use, under normal operating conditions. The measurements took place on two Pierce County bridges that are above operating train tracks. A remote sensing device (the FEAT) was used to look at locomotive emissions of CO, HC, NO, NO2, SO2, …

On-Road Measurments Of Transit Bus Emissions, Matt Breuer
Summer Research
Emissions were monitored from transit buses to determine the difference in emissions between engine technologies and model years. The Environmental Protection Agency’s newest emissions standards set into law in 2007 and 2010 limited the level of emissions transit buses and other heavy-duty vehicles are able to produce. For the most part, these standards have been regulated in lab. My research looked at the emissions from these buses on-road, under normal operating conditions. At the Federal Way Transit Center, four types of bus engines were analyzed: conventional diesel, diesel with catalytic emission control, compressed natural gas, and diesel-electric hybrid. A remote …
