Applied Measurements and Instrumentation for Improving Diagnostic Devices and Systems in Metropolitan Polluted Environments with Nitric and Carbon Oxides

Abstract

The problem of pollution in transportation and road traffic, especially in metropolitan areas, rise a significant concern regarding the health of the inhabitants and the rapid diagnostic procedures on site. It is important to know exactly what the problem is when it comes to toxicity in highly traffic areas. The present paper shows an applied solution for monitoring and control of pollutants, such as nitric oxides and carbon oxide in automotive and transportation sector in order to increase the potential of health security in road traffic activity. There were some measurements done in laboratory. Also the sensors were calibrated and tested. A hardware in the loop system was also used in order to test the validity of the hypotheses for monitoring and for giving the signal of hazard condition regarding pollution with nitric and carbon oxides.
