Light-Duty Vehicle Emissions Control: A Brief Introduction to the China 6 Emissions Standard

Vehicle Driver & Atmospheric Factors in Light-Duty Vehicle Particle Number Emissions

Made possible by the collection of on-board tailpipe emissions data, this research identifies road and driver factors that are associated with a relatively understudied tailpipe pollutant from lightduty vehicles: ultrafine particle number emissions. High emission events (HEE) of ultrafine particle number (PN) emissions occurred most frequently at locations with steep upgrades or locations that ...

A Comparison of Light-duty Vehicle Emissions over Different Test Cycles and in Real Driving Conditions

The European Commission is examining test procedures to ensure that light-duty vehicle emissions are well controlled both in real use and over the legislative test cycle. At the same time, the UN Working Party on Pollution and Energy (GRPE) has developed a Worldwide harmonised Light vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) that is expected to be used for Type Approval in the EU in the future. To identify...

Statistical Model for Estimating Carbon Dioxide Emissions from a Light-Duty Gasoline Vehicle

The objective of this research was development of a statistical model for estimating vehicle tailpipe emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). Forty hours of second-by-second emissions data (144,000 data points) were collected using an On-Board emissions measurement System (Horiba OBS-1300) installed in a 2007 Dodge Charger car. Data were collected for two roadway types, arterial and highway, around ...

Assessment of real-world pollutant emissions from a light-duty diesel vehicle

On-road heavy-duty vehicle emissions monitoring system.

The introduction of particulate and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) after-treatment controls on heavy-duty vehicles has spurred the need for fleet emissions data to monitor their reliability and effectiveness. The University of Denver has developed a new method for rapidly measuring heavy-duty vehicles for gaseous and particulate fuel specific emissions. The method was recently used to collect 3088 me...
