Advanced Remote Sensing Devices for Smarter Emissions Testing
Explore Envirotest Transport’s Remote Sensing Devices—advanced solutions for emissions testing and regulatory compliance in transportation.
Real-Time Emissions Monitoring with
Advanced Remote Sensing Devices (RSD)
Remote Sensing Devices (RSD) play a pivotal role in modern emissions testing by offering real-time, non-intrusive monitoring of vehicle exhaust as vehicles operate under normal driving conditions. Widely adopted across North America for B2B applications—including government inspection programs, fleet compliance, and research initiatives—RSD systems eliminate the need for manual testing or vehicle stoppage, making emissions assessment faster and more efficient. These high-precision technologies capture critical data on pollutants like NOx, CO, HC, and particulate matter, enabling accurate enforcement of environmental regulations and supporting data-driven transportation policies. Designed for scalability and reliability, RSD solutions help reduce testing overhead, increase coverage, and minimize operational disruption. Envirotest Transport delivers advanced RSD platforms built on years of technical refinement and field validation, empowering stakeholders to meet sustainability targets and compliance mandates with confidence. Our commitment to innovation ensures clients receive future-ready tools for cleaner, smarter transportation monitoring.

Case Studies
California Highway Patrol (USA)
The California Highway Patrol deployed Envirotest Transport’s RSD units across key freeway corridors in Los Angeles to assess compliance with state emissions regulations. With seamless data integration into the state’s emissions management systems, they reduced the cost and time of enforcement operations by 47%.
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (USA)
In collaboration with the DEC, Envirotest Transport installed RSD units in high-traffic urban locations to monitor emissions in real-time. The project helped identify high-emission vehicles, resulting in an 18% improvement in air quality over 12 months.
Ministry of Transportation Ontario (Canada)
Our RSD technology was deployed at strategic highway points to monitor heavy-duty vehicle emissions. Integrated with provincial data systems, the solution allowed Ontario’s MoT to improve regulatory compliance and streamline enforcement without expanding workforce requirements.
