On-road black carbon instrument intercomparison and aerosol characteristics by driving environment
2014
The objective of this study was to assess the ability of several high time resolution instruments to capture on-road BC concentrations. An additional objective was to use these measurements to
characterize aerosol characteristics: particle size distribution, BC concentration, and optical properties in a variety of different driving environments. Measurements were made onboard an electric vehicle operated in a variety of traffic environments and vehicle operating conditions including morning and afternoon rush hour, stop-and-go congestion, a heavily traveled intersection, and lightly traveled secondary roads.
