On-Road Remote Sensing Of Automobile Emissions In The Los Angeles Area: Year 2, Sajal S. Pokharel, Gary A. Bishop, Donald H. Stedman Mar 2001

On-Road Remote Sensing Of Automobile Emissions In The Los Angeles Area: Year 2, Sajal S. Pokharel, Gary A. Bishop, Donald H. Stedman

Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test Publications

The University of Denver conducted the second year of a five year remote sensing study in the Los Angeles, CA area. The remote sensor used in this study is capable of measuring the ratios of CO, HC, and NO to CO2 in motor vehicle exhaust. From these ratios, we calculate the percent concentrations of CO, CO2, HC and NO in motor vehicle exhaust which would be observed by a tailpipe probe, corrected for water and any excess oxygen not involved in combustion. The system used in this study was also configured to determine the speed and acceleration of the vehicle, …

The University of Denver has completed the second year of a five-year remote sensing study in the Denver area. The remote sensor used in this study is capable of measuring the ratios of CO, HC and NO to CO2 in motor vehicle exhaust. From these ratios, we calculate the percent concentrations of CO, CO2, HC and NO in the exhaust that would be observed by a tailpipe probe, corrected for water and excess oxygen not involved in combustion. Mass emissions per mass or volume of fuel can also be determined. The system used in this study was configured to determine …

On-Road Remote Sensing Of Automobile Emissions In The Phoenix Area: Year 2, Sajal S. Pokharel, Gary A. Bishop, Donald H. Stedman

Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test Publications

The University of Denver conducted a five-day remote sensing study in the Phoenix, AZ area in the fall of 1999. The remote sensor used in this study is capable of measuring the ratios of CO, HC, and NO to CO2 in motor vehicle exhaust. From these ratios, we calculate mass emissions per kg (or gallon) of fuel and the percent concentrations of CO, CO2, HC and NO in motor vehicle exhaust which would be observed by a tailpipe probe, corrected for water and any excess oxygen not involved in combustion. The system used in this study was also configured to …


How To Evaluate An On-Road Remote Sensor, Donald H. Stedman Jan 2001

How To Evaluate An On-Road Remote Sensor, Donald H. Stedman

Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test Publications

All on-road remote sensors or which we are aware carry out at least a measurement of the CO/CO2 ratio in the exhaust of a passing vehicle. It is possible for an interested party to carry out a quantitative evaluation of the precision of this measurement. This evaluation can be done without going to the expense and complexity of an on-road audit using a vehicle of known emissions (wet gas audit), or a vehicle designed to puff surrogate compressed gas mixtures of known ratios (dry gas audit). The measurement of exhaust CO/CO2 ratio is obtained by estimating the slope of a …

Epa Overestimates The Benefit Of Biennial Inspection And Maintenance, Donald H. Stedman Dec 1996

Epa Overestimates The Benefit Of Biennial Inspection And Maintenance, Donald H. Stedman

Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test Publications

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) computer model of mobile source emissions is used to estimate the benefits of future emissions control programs. Four input assumptions are discussed, each of which tends to overestimate the benefits of biennial testing programs. The assumptions are: each model year drives the same number of miles; high/superemitters, absent initially, increase linearly with mileage; inspection and maintenance (I/M) readings are invariant, and I/M repairs last forever. States opting for these programs should be aware that the predicted benefits may not materialize.
