One of the most advanced driving simulators worldwide, providing the opportunity to carry out research into driver behaviour in controlled, laboratory conditions.
Remote Sensing Vehicle Emissions
The Institute for Transport Studies’ Vehicle Emission Measurement System (VEMS) senses the tailpipe emissions of vehicles as they drive-through a monitoring site. This new approach, commonly used in the U.S. and Canada in large-scale emission testing programs, combines on-road VEMS measurements with detailed vehicle registration information and offers an opportunity to extend and maintain an up-to-date evidence base, and contribute to the development of more targeted and effective management strategies.
Researchers and Authorities interested in better understanding on-road vehicle emissions are encouraged to contact us.
