Real-World Vehicle Emissions: A Summary of the Eighth Coordinating Research Council On-Road Vehicle Emissions Workshop

ABSTRACT

The Coordinating Research Council (CRC) has sponsored a series of workshops over the last decade focusing on the most recent real-world vehicle emissions research. This summary presents findings from the eighth CRC-sponsored workshop from researchers who are engaged in improving our understanding of the contribution of mobile sources to air quality. Participants in the workshop discussed efforts to evaluate and improve mobile source emission models, field programs designed to understand the contribution of mobile sources to emission inventories, results from gas- and particle-phase emissions studies from spark-ignition and diesel-powered vehicles, as well as topics for future research.
