EU - FP 6: OPTO-EMI-SENSE - An optical fibre sensor based intelligent system for monitoring and control of exhaust emissions from road vehicles
|
|
|
|
PROJEKT: The proposed project is designed to address the problem of pollution of the environment by road vehicles as denned under the Thematic Priority 1.6.2, Sustainable Surface Transport relating to the Work Programme "Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area".
|
|
The research activities of the consortium will be based around state of the art developments in the area of optical fibre sensor and intelligent instrumentation technology to formulate a system for on line monitoring of exhaust emissions from road vehicles. The application of this technology to resolving the problems of atmospheric pollutants and their regional impacts is therefore highly appropriate to the issue identified in the thematic roadmap i.e. "New technologies and concepts for all surface transport modes".
The consortium which will execute the research programme comprises six members from four EC member states. They include four academic institutions, an SME and an end user (a major European car manufacturer). Their combined expertise and knowledge of the technological and business issues will facilitate the rapid development of the technology into a demonstratable prototype within the three year lifetime of the project.
The project's technical objectives are summarised as follows:
 | To set up laboratory based test facilities such that the sensor systems may be characterised in a precisely controlled and reproducible manner. Therefore, individual parameters such as optical absorption and scattering may be studied in isolation as w ell as collectively.
|
| To isolate and identify the optical signals arising from contaminants present in the complex mixtures of exhaust systems of a wide range of vehicles using advanced and novel optical fibre based spectroscopie interrogation techniques .
|
| To develop novel optical fibre sensors which are miniature and robust in their construction and may be fitted and/or retro-fitted to the exhaust systems of a wide range
