Remote Sensing Technology To Check Delhi Vehicle Pollution

In a bid to control pollution, the Delhi government’s transport department has decided to use a new technology by which the pollution level of all types of vehicles can be measured even when these are on the move.

“Our government is committed to developing a pollution-free transport system in Delhi. Remote sensing technology is a world-class technology, which measures pollution from all types of vehicles like petrol, diesel, CNG & LPG, with 100 percent accuracy through ultra-violet and ultra-sonic rays,” said transport minister Arvinder Singh Lovely.

A demonstration regarding the new technology was made near Chandgi Ram Akhara (Ring Road) by the transport department in the presence of Lovely, transport commissioner R K Verma and other senior officials of the department.

“This technology neither requires a particular vehicle to be stopped or slowed down nor requires a physical connection to the exhaust pipe to measure the pollution level in it,” Lovely added.
He said the remote sensing technology measures HC (hydro-carbon), CO (Carbon-Monoxide), CO2 and NOx emitted from individual vehicles running on the road.

“In addition to pollution levels, vehicle speed and vehicle pictures are also recorded in the computer system. The pictures would help the department in keeping a check on vehicles overloaded with passengers or goods,” the minister said. (IANS)
