INSTRUMENTED VEHICLE TESTS ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

A SPECIAL VEHICLE WAS DEVELOPED FOR MEASURING ALL KINDS OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION EXCEPT WATER POLLUTION AND RADIATION. TRAFFIC DATA IS COLLECTED BY THE DES 398-100 RECORDER AND ANALYZED BY THE VDM 250 ANALYZER. THE MACHINES CAN BE USED TO GIVE VERY PRECISE MEASUREMENTS OF VEHICLE SPEED, LENGTH, HEADWAY, COUNT, AND TRAFFIC DENSITY. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH CLOUD-CIRCUIT TELEVISION, INCLUDING VIDEO PLAYBACK FACILITIES, INSTRUMENTATION FOR MEASURING NOISE LEVELS AND DIRECTION, AND LIGHT METERS FOR LUMINANCE AND GLARE. THE VEHICLE CAN BE RENTED BY THE HOUR TO INDUSTRY OR LOCAL AUTHORITIES.
