Cover Story: Motor vehicle emissions are gaining increasing interest due to impacts on human health and the environment, and its associated economic costs. Accurate measurement of vehicle emissions in real-world conditions is therefore essential. This paper is one in a series of papers that use remote sensing to measure on-road vehicle emissions but is innovative in the sense that it includes a range of additional measurement devices to verify and augment the data. The paper examines the relevance of cold start conditions on high emitting vehicles using a thermal camera. It also identifies poor real-world emissions performance for Euro 4/5 diesel cars, which may potentially lead to air quality issues in Australia. View this paper.
