The CRC-APRAC On-Road Vehicle Emissions Workshop provided an informal atmosphere for the exchange of information on real-world vehicle emissions issues. Topics addressed included: emissions inventories; mobile source emission factor models; evaporative emissions; dynamometer studies of exhaust emissions; remote sensing studies; and tunnel studies of vehicle emissions. It is now widely accepted that emissions inventories have significantly underestimated the carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions from on-road vehicles. Since these inventories are used to develop emission control strategies, it is critical that they accurately reflect on-road emissions. Research is currently being conducted by a variety of organizations to address this issue. For the past three years, the Coordinating Research Council - Air Pollution Research Advisory Committee (CRC-APRAC) has sponsored an on-road vehicle emissions workshop whose purpose is to provide an informal forum in which recent real-world vehicle emissions results can be discussed along with plans for additional studies. Thirty-six papers were presented at the third workshop, which was held in San Diego, California, on December 1-3, 1992. This summary provides an overview of conclusions from the workshop, followed by a synopsis of individual papers. The conclusions are those of the authors, and do not necessarily represent a consensus of the workshop participants.
