Emissions Monitoring and Management
Service Graphic
Definition:The Emissions Monitoring and Management service monitors individual vehicle emissions and provides general air quality monitoring using distributed sensors to collect the data. The collected information is transmitted to the Air Quality Alert system for processing. Both area wide air quality monitoring and point emissions monitoring are supported by this service. For area wide monitoring, this service measures air quality, identifies sectors that are non-compliant with air quality standards, and collects, stores and reports supporting statistical data. For point emissions monitoring, this service measures tail pipe emissions and identifies vehicles that exceed emissions standards. Summary emissions information or warnings can also be displayed to drivers. The gathered information can be used to implement environmentally sensitive transportation demand programs, policies, and regulations.
