This
market package monitors individual vehicle emissions and provides general
air quality monitoring using distributed sensors to collect the data.
The collected information is transmitted to the emissions management subsystem
for processing. Both area wide air quality monitoring and point emissions
monitoring are supported by this market package. For area wide monitoring,
this market package measures air quality, identifies sectors that are
non-compliant with air quality standards, and collects, stores and reports
supporting statistical data. For point emissions monitoring, this market
package measures tail pipe emissions and identifies vehicles that exceed
emissions standards. The gathered information can be used to implement
environmentally sensitive TDM programs, policies, and regulations.
