Carnegie Mellon University Engineering and Public Policy (EPP) Ph.D. student Prithvi Acharya and his advisor, Civil and Environmental Engineering’s Scott Matthews, teamed up with EPP’s Paul Fischbeck. They have created a new method for identifying over-emitting vehicles using remote data transmission and machine learning that would be less expensive and more effective than current inspection/maintenance (I/M) programs, according to the university. In an attempt to eliminate unnecessary costs and improve the effectiveness of I/M programs, Acharya, Matthews and Fischbeck published their recent study in IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems. Their new method entails sending data directly from the vehicle…
