The main objectives of this project were to collect a large dataset of gaseous vehicle emissions in the Detroit/Ann Arbor geographical area by using a remote sensing approach and to provide the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with a pool of high emitting vehicles (categorized by remote sensing measurements). The broad motivation for the study and data acquisition is to develop a strategy for vehicle sampling and recruitment. Within this main objective, EPA will subsequently attempt to recruit the vehicles identified by the remote sensing system for follow-up studies using portable instruments (PEMS/PAMS). The overall goal of the E-100 pilot study is to assess the feasibility and utility of a new hybrid approach to emissions measurement. The approach would exploit the advantages of the large sampling ability of remote sensing in combination with the accuracy of on-board portable measurements. The objectives of the E-100a component of the project were to provide valid remote sensing data for at least 30,000 vehicle records, to assemble a database that will be crucial for the on-board follow-up study and to identify vehicles that are likely to be gross polluters.
