University team develop dashboard emissions indicator More news
4 September 2007A Manchester University team has built a device capable of recording levels of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane from directly inside an exhaust and of displaying them on a vehicle's dashboard.
Once optimised, they say, the laser measuring device could be incorporated into onboard diagnostic systems that would monitor emissions as vehicles drive along – and potentially help people to improve their driving style.
Academics claim this approach is faster and more sensitive than the extractive techniques normally used to monitor emissions.
