Capturing the Variability in Instantaneous Vehicle Emissions Based on Field Test Data
Atmosphere, 2020 Emission models are important tools for traffic emission and air quality estimates. Existing instantaneous emission models employ the steady-state “engine emissions map” to estimate emissions for individual vehicles.

Current vehicle emission standards will not mitigate climate change or improve air quality
Scientific Reports, 2023 The vehicle emissions testing programme was conducted by the UK Department of Transport in 2016 in response to emissions tampering exposed in the Volkswagen (VW) emissions scandal. The programme identified large emissions discrepancies between real-world

Non-linear influences of the built environment on transportation emissions: focusing on densities [PDF]
, 2017 Compact development is often recommended to reduce auto-dependency thereby decreasing related energy consumptions and transportation emissions. However, there could be a non-linear relationship between density and transportation emissions because of a ...

Measurement of vehicle particulate emissions. [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1975 A constant volume sampler (CVS) compatible auto exhaust particulate sampling system has been built which samples exhaust isokinetically at constant temperature. This system yields internally consistent results and is capable of frequent and convenient operation.
