Emissions Data Management

This equipment package collects and stores air quality and vehicle emissions information by remotely monitoring and controlling area wide and point sensors. General air quality measures are distributed as general traveller information and also may be used for in demand management programs. Collected roadside emissions are analyzed and used to detect, identify, and notify concerned parties regarding vehicles that exceed emissions standards.

Functionality:

Functional Requirements:
  1. The centre shall collect, analyze, and store vehicle emissions data collected from roadside sensors.
  2. The centre shall collect, analyze, and store wide area pollution data collected from sensors that may the general (wide area) environment.
  3. The centre shall configure and control emissions and air quality sensors located in the field.
  4. The centre shall maintain a database of pollution reference data including acceptable and tolerable emissions and pollution levels for the area served by the centre.
  5. The centre shall support an interface with a map update provider, or other appropriate data sources, through which updates of digitized map data can be obtained and used as a background for emissions.
  6. The centre shall establish violation parameters, detect emissions violators, obtain the vehicle registration data from the appropriate State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office, and then provide the capability to send violation information to a law enforcement agency.
  7. The centre shall distribute air quality information to the media, traveller information service providers, and traffic management centres. This information may be used for information to travellers or part of demand management programs.
