On-road vehicle emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO(x)), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during 1995-2009 in the Atlanta Metropolitan Statistical Area were estimated using the Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) model and data from the National Emissions Inventories and the State of Georgia. Statistically significant downward trends (computed using the nonparametri...

exhaust emissions contribute greatly to air pollution, the social cost of which may occur as danger to human health, attracting huge medical expenses, causing absenteeism and hence loss of productivity. these are incentives to reduce exhaust emissions to the barest minimum. two major cities in ghana, accra and kumasi, are struck by vehicular traffic jams especially during rush-hours and are gra...

In order to mitigate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, policy action that addresses vehicle emissions is essential. While many previous studies have focused on light-duty vehicles (LDV), little is known about mediumand heavy-duty vehicles (MHDV). This study lays the groundwork for future MHDV investigations in the Republic of Korea by developing an MHDV CO2 emissions inventory. The bottom-up appr...

(a) Interim Report: urgent measures that should be implemented to prevent harmful air pollutants (October 18, 1996). (b) Report No. 2: measures to reduce exhaust emissions from motor vehicles that utilize gasoline or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as fuel, hereafter they are referred to as gasolineor LPG-fueled motor vehicles, respectively, and also special motor vehicles, which are the largeand...

BACKGROUND Highway vehicle CO emissions have decreased 85% since introduction of the catalytic converter in 1975. We sought to examine whether morbidity and mortality from intentional motor vehicle-related CO poisoning have also changed. METHODS Vehicle CO emissions data from 1970-2013 were obtained from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention...

This paper discusses the requirements, design and operational aspects of the Unmanned Marine Vehicles (UMVs), namely the Romeo Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) and the Charlie Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), developed at CNR-ISSIA, Genova, Italy for robotics research and scientific applications, pointing out the synergies between the development of underwater and surface unmanned vehicles.

We empirically assess the relationship between the built environment and household travel local and global emissions in Santiago de Chile. We incorporate local built environment variables – measured by a range of different spatial approaches – into household vehicle ownership and travel-related tailpipe emissions models. The results suggest income dominates vehicle ownership and most emissions,...

Heavy-duty trucks make up only 3% of the on-road vehicle fleet, yet they account for > 7% of vehicle miles traveled in the United States. They also contribute a significant proportion of regulated ambient emissions. Heavy vehicles emit emissions at different rates than passenger vehicles. They may also behave differently on-road, yet may be treated similarly to passenger vehicles in emissions m...
