Abstract: As being an effective real-time method of monitoring vehicle emissions on-road, a remote sensing system based on the tunable diode laser (TDL) technology was presented, and the key technologies were discussed. A field test in Guangzhou (Guangdong, China) was performed and was found that the factors, such as slope, instantaneous speed and acceleration, had significant influence on the detectable rate of the system. Based on the results, the proposal choice of testing site was presented.
