12 AB 1222, Jones (2005) Remote Sensing Pilot Program for Railroad Locomotives Pilot program to determine the accuracy and reliability of remote sensing device technology to measure emissions from in-use locomotives. Pilot program to determine the accuracy and reliability of remote sensing device technology to measure emissions from in-use locomotives. State of California to work thru Advisory Group : State of California to work thru Advisory Group : –experts in remote sensing, locomotive engine technology, representatives of citizen community groups, SCAQMD, Sacramento Metropolitan AQMD, UPRR and BNSF Railway.

13 AB 1222 – Pilot Program Design Three Phase Program –Phase 1- Proof of Concept: adapt RSD to locomotive exhaust characteristics and operations, e.g. Line Haul and Yard operations. –Phase 2 - Field Measurements: In-Use Line- haul and Yard locomotive monitoring. –Phase 3 - Correlation Testing: Simultaneous emissions measuring using RSD and EPA Federal Test Procedure (FTP).

14 Phase One – RSD Adaptation Locomotive Test Site - Pueblo, CO Locomotive Test Site - Pueblo, CO Two Designs Tested Two Designs Tested –Conventional (transmitter and reflector across exhaust stream) –Collection (exhaust cooled and brought to ground level RSD system) Collection design selected Collection design selected

22 Background July 2008 executed contracts to cosponsor remote sensing measurements of emissions from on-road Heavy-duty diesel vehicles (HDDV) July 2008 executed contracts to cosponsor remote sensing measurements of emissions from on-road Heavy-duty diesel vehicles (HDDV) HDDV are significant contributors to the On- Road vehicle emissions in the South Coast Air Basin HDDV are significant contributors to the On- Road vehicle emissions in the South Coast Air Basin Historical On-Road HDDV emissions data are needed because HDDV emissions are expected to experience significant changes: Historical On-Road HDDV emissions data are needed because HDDV emissions are expected to experience significant changes: –Port Drayage Truck Regulation (CARB) –Proposed In-Use On-Road Heavy-Duty Diesel Regulation (CARB) –Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicle/Engine Standard ( U.S. EPA, 2010)

23 Background (cont’d) Historical On-Road HDDV emissions data are needed because HDDV emissions are expected to experience significant changes: Historical On-Road HDDV emissions data are needed because HDDV emissions are expected to experience significant changes: –Port Drayage Truck Regulation (CARB) –Proposed In-Use On-Road Heavy-Duty Diesel Regulation (CARB) –Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicle/Engine Standard ( U.S. EPA, 2010)

24 Objective To obtain On-Road HDDV emissions baseline To obtain On-Road HDDV emissions baseline To examine how HDDV emissions are impacted by changing fleet regulations and new HDDV emission standards over the next few years To examine how HDDV emissions are impacted by changing fleet regulations and new HDDV emission standards over the next few years
