Contractor developed and field tested an advanced remote sensing instrument. Remote sensing is a technology that allows accurate, non-intrusive measurement of vehicle exhaust emissions. This equipment is portable, allowing real time identification of high-emitting vehicles as they are driven on streets and freeways.

No specific areas were targeted, but the versatility within the testing apparatus makes it adaptable for any area where testing is requested.
The project was to design remote sensing instrumentation which could collect data from vehicles moving at 50 miles per hour. The exhaust spectra were recorded in approximately 7 milliseconds and data processed in approximately 75 milliseconds. The speed of assessment allows vehicle testing at road speeds without having to establish checkpoints which disrupts traffic.
