Multispecies Remote Sensing Of Vehicle Emissions On Sherman Way In Van Nuys, California, Gary A. Bishop, Brent G. Schuchmann, Donald H. Stedman, Douglas R. Lawson

Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test Publications

As part of the 2010 Van Nuys tunnel study, researchers from the University of Denver measured on-road fuel-specific light-duty vehicle emissions from nearly 13,000 vehicles on Sherman Way (0.4 miles west of the tunnel) in Van Nuys, CA, with its multi-species FEAT remote sensor a week ahead of the tunnel measurements. The remote sensing mean gram per kilogram carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) measurements are 8.9% lower, 41%, and 24% higher than the tunnel measurements respectively. The remote sensing CO/NOx and HC/NOx mass ratios are 28% lower and 20% higher than …

There is interest from environmental organizations and regulating agencies to eliminate lead and reduce pollutants emitted into the atmosphere from general aviation aircraft using 100LL aviation gasoline (Avgas). 100SF (Swift Fuel) is under development by Swift Enterprises as a lead free general aviation alternative fuel product. The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of time required for engines to be free of lead emissions when first introduced to operation using 100SF. This study also investigated the lead cleansing decay profiles of the aircraft engines under 100SF initial operations. Results of this study revealed that a mean engine …

Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test Publications

Recent US EPA emissions regulations have resulted in lower emissions of particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen from heavy-duty diesel trucks. To accelerate fleet turnover the State of California in 2008 along with the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach (San Pedro Bay Ports) in 2006 passed regulations establishing timelines forcing the retirement of older diesel trucks. On-road emissions measurements of heavy-duty diesel trucks were collected over a three-year period, beginning in 2008, at a Port of Los Angeles location and an inland weigh station on the Riverside freeway (CA SR91). At the Port location the mean fleet age …

On-Road Emission Measurements Of Reactive Nitrogen Compounds From Three California Cities, Gary A. Bishop, Allison Peddle, Donald H. Stedman Apr 2010

On-Road Emission Measurements Of Reactive Nitrogen Compounds From Three California Cities, Gary A. Bishop, Allison Peddle, Donald H. Stedman

Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test Publications

The three California cities of San Jose, Fresno and West Los Angeles (wLA) were visited during March 2008 to collect on-road emission measurements of reactive nitrogen compounds from light-duty vehicles. At the San Jose and wLA sites comparison with historical measurements showed that emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitric oxide (NO) continue to decrease in the on-road fleet yet the ratio of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) to NO in new diesel vehicles appears to be under going large increases. A small fleet of 2007 diesel ambulances measured in Fresno was found to have more than 60% …

The University of Denver spent six weeks in West Virginia measuring diesel particles from 15 heavy duty diesel trucks with an Electrical Tailpipe Particle Sensor (ETaPS) and correlating the results with a RSD 4600 (supplied by ESP) and a gravimetric filter from a chassis dynamometer. The ETaPS is an electrical charger, placed directly in raw exhaust, and measures particles based on their active surface area. The use of a diesel particle filter (DPF) was implemented in three different ways. Five trucks were installed with a functioning DPF, five trucks were installed with bypassed DPF to simulate a failing DPF, and …

Portable Emission Measurements Of Yellowstone Park Snowcoaches And Snowmobiles, Gary A. Bishop, Ryan Stadtmuller, Donald H. Stedman, John D. Ray

Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test Publications

As part of the National Park Service’s Temporary Winter Use Plans Environmental Assessment, the University of Denver has been collecting in-use tailpipe emissions data from snowcoaches and snowmobiles in Yellowstone National Park. During the winter of 2006, using a portable emissions monitoring system, tailpipe data were collected from 10 snowcoaches and 2 four-stroke snowmobiles. These vehicles were operated over a standard route within the park, and the snowcoaches all carried identical passenger loads. These snowcoaches were newer in age with more advanced fuel management technology than those studied earlier, and average emissions were lower as a result (120, 1.7, and …

A Decade Of On-Road Emissions Measurements, Gary A. Bishop, Donald H. Stedman

Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test Publications

A multi-year, on-road emission measurement program carried out in the cities of Chicago, IL, Denver, CO, Los Angeles, CA and Phoenix, AZ shows large, fuel specific tailpipe emissions reductions at all of the sites for carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitric oxide (NO). CO emissions decrease between 56% (Denver) and 71% (Chicago), HC emissions decrease between 27% (Phoenix) and 63% (Denver) and NO emissions have dropped between 48% (West LA) and 68% (Chicago). Three observed factors common to all of the sites are that the emission reductions are occurring in vehicles of all ages, that the influence of engine …

The University of Denver conducted a five-day remote sensing study in the Omaha, Nebraska area in September of 2004. The remote sensor used in this study measures 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 any excess oxygen not involved in combustion. Mass emissions per mass or volume of fuel are also determined. The system used in this study was configured to determine the speed and …
