On-road Remote Sensing of Vehicle Emissions in Monterrey, N.l. Mexico
Mexico to monitor remotely the carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitric oxide (NO) emissions of the local vehicle fleet. In four days of monitoring at four different locations within the city, 26,534 vehicles passed the sensor. In all more than 24,000 valid measurements were obtained for CO, more than 23,000 for HC and more than 16,000 for NO. Mean values for each species were 1.69% C...
متن کاملOn-road Motor Vehicle Emissions from around the World
In 1993, on-road emissions in Continental Europe showed a pronounced South/North declining gradient for CO, HC and NO fuel specific emissions (gm/kg). Emissions in Hamburg and Rotterdam were comparable to emissions measured in 1993 in the U.S.A. with the same on-road instrument. Contrasts between emissions in the USA, the UK and Sweden demonstrated the importance both of modern catalysts and of...
متن کاملCharacterization of on-road vehicle emissions in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area using a mobile laboratory in chase and fleet average measurement modes during the MCMA-2003 field campaign
A mobile laboratory was used to measure onroad vehicle emission ratios during the MCMA-2003 field campaign held during the spring of 2003 in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA). The measured emission ratios represent a sample of emissions of in-use vehicles under real world driving conditions for the MCMA. From the relative amounts of NOx and selected VOC’s sampled, the results indicate th...
متن کاملComparison of emissions from on-road sources using a mobile laboratory under various driving and operational sampling modes
Mobile sources produce a significant fraction of the total anthropogenic emissions burden in large cities and have harmful effects on air quality at multiple spatial scales. Mobile emissions are intrinsically difficult to estimate due to the large number of parameters affecting the emissions variability within and across vehicles types. The MCMA-2003 Campaign in Mexico City has showed the utili...
متن کاملEvaluation of mobile emissions contributions to Mexico City’s emissions inventory using on-road and cross-road emission measurements and ambient data
Mobile emissions represent a significant fraction of the total anthropogenic emissions burden in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA) and, therefore, it is crucial to use top-down techniques informed by on-road exhaust measurements to evaluate and improve traditional bottom-up official emissions inventory (EI) for the city. We present the measurements of on-road fleet-average emission facto...
