Delhi transport department will be using a new technology to determine the level of pollution from various vehicles, even while they are moving. This step has been adopted by the government so as to restrict the level of pollution.
"Our government is committed to develop pollution-free transport system in Delhi. Remote sensing technology is a world class technology which measures pollution from all type of vehicles like petrol, diesel, CNG & LPG with 100 percent accuracy through ultra-violet and ultra-sonic rays," said Transport Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely.
The new technology was demonstrated 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 exhaust pipe to measure pollution level in it," he added.
This remote sensing technology has the potential to measure HC (hydro-carbon), CO (Carbon-Monoxide), CO2 and NOx emitted from individual moving vehicles.
"In addition to pollution levels, vehicle speed and vehicles picture is also recorded in the computer system. That picture of the vehicles would also help the department in keeping a check on vehicles overloaded with passengers or goods," the minister said.
