Abstract:Emissions Management Using ITS Technology report summarizes and interprets the results of three Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Field Operational Tests (FOTs) that evaluated the use of emerging technologies to help authorities measure emissions and develop strategies to help control them. Two of these tests use similar technologies employing a remote infrared sensing device to analyze the carbon monoxide content of the exhaust of a vehicle. The other test used Light Detection and Ranging (a technology similar to radar) to measure the amount and character of pollution in the air. The FOTs considered in this report are: LIDAR, TDM/ED and RTED. Institutional issues were not significant in these tests. The report findings are organized in the categories of impact, user response, technical lessons learned, institutional challenges and resolutions, and cost to implement. This report highlights the successes and problems these tests encountered while attempting to develop the technologies appropriate to measuring and reacting to vehicle emissions.
