With the advanced the 3DATX proSYNC™ innovative Portable Emissions Measurement System (iPEMS), which is a portable, compact, accurate, and affordable solution to pursue emissions compliance, the researchers and students at the Department of Transportation Studies can sample tailpipe emissions and provide up to 1 Hz reporting of NO2, NO, CO2, CO, HC, O2, PN, and PM. The iPEMS test unit can be installed on a vehicle in under 30 minutes and data can be reviewed in real-time on the laptop provided. We can measure the second-by-second real-world fuel consumption, Greenhouse Gas (GHG), and pollutant emissions from a variety of on-road vehicles and non-road equipment such as yard tractors, construction machinery, forklifts, locomotives, small aircraft, etc.
The students will be trained to learn how to use the iPEMS equipment for collecting vehicle emissions in the field study. This is a very practical training with interdisciplinary skills required. Students will receive interdisciplinary training, not only in transportation operation and management, but also in vehicle emission testing and modeling, and environmental technology and science. Due to the nature of the training, students will have the opportunity to learn some basic knowledge of vehicle manufacturing. Students who attended the training from this lab will be more competitive in finding jobs in even wider areas such as transportation engineering, environmental protection agencies, companies, and vehicle engineering.
The vehicle emission testing equipment, iPEMS, is a state-of-the-art device that can measure real-time vehicle emissions and fuel consumption. This iPEMS equipment is a very convenient and powerful tool for conducting advanced transportation and environmental research in evaluating the impacts of adopting environmentally friendly traffic management strategies to reduce air quality and energy consumption. This is a great asset for TSU to win more external funding.
