Vehicle Remote Emission Sensing Project

Absrtact
(1) A total of eight monitoring sites were surveyed. By the end of August we had completed the target of 100,000 vehicles for remote sensing measurements, this work were for a total of twenty-seven (27) working days; 164,007 passenger cars were measured; and 119,945 valid emission data were collected; the effective rate were over seventy-three percent.(2) Held two seminars on vehicle emission control with specialists, professors and government officers in order to provide with recommendations for the future to be connected the related laws and regulations.(3) A total of fifty-five stations were singed to join vehicle emission inspection work, and every country/city had at least an emission testing station. We held four councils to explain this project, and completed careful check to all stations before notification mailing to vehicle owners with high emission. (4) According to current vehicle emission regulation, 3,970 vehicle owners in Taipei, with vehicle remote sensing measurement exceeding a predetermined screening criterion, were notified on September 17th to bring their vehicles to an designated emission station for inspection and idle emission testing to achieve reduction of vehicles emission. Up to November 15th, 3,243 vehicles were made for re-testing. On August 30th and September 1st, we held separately a council with EPA to explain the proposal of notification – set up a website and service center to answer questions related to the program objectives and inspection notification by the public; make posters and provide all EPB and emission testing stations to put up posters advertising the vehicle pollution control.(5) Collected the related information and describe the benefit and damage for each measure, and provide a proposal to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for reference.(6) In 2004, 164,007 passenger cars were measured; and 119,945 valid emission data were collected. The average emission concentrations of carbon monxide(CO) – 0.378%, carbon dioxide(CO2) – 14.775%, hydrocarbon – 125.84ppm.
