    摘要: A method and system detects the function of a catalytic converter in a vehicle using data received from an open path emissions sensor. The factors considered include whether the vehicle moving on a road is operating in a closed loop operating condition, whether the vehicle is operating in a cold start mode, and the hydrocarbon and other tailpipe emissions concentrations in an exhaust stream of the vehicle as measured by the open path sensor.

    摘要: A method and system for measuring hydrocarbon content in a gas sample measures individual hydrocarbon concentrations in the gas sample and determines a total concentration based on the individual concentrations. The total concentration is validated and/or scaled by determining whether water interference may be occurring and either adjusting the total concentration or flagging the total concentration as invalid. The total concentration may also be adjusted to account for ambient conditions, such as temperature, pressure or relative humidity, as well as for potential double-counting of individual hydrocarbon species.

    摘要: A method for determining the type of fuel used by a vehicle includes receiving hydrocarbon speciation and nitrogen-oxygen compound data from an emissions sensor. The hydrocarbon speciation data is compared to one or more hydrocarbon threshold levels, and each threshold level corresponds to an anticipated fuel type. The nitrogen-oxygen compound data is compared to one or more nitrogen-oxygen compound threshold levels, and each threshold level corresponds to an anticipated fuel type. Based on the comparison of the hydrocarbon speciation and nitrogen-oxygen compound data to threshold levels, an anticipated fuel type is determined.
