Second-by-second modal emissions data from a 73-vehicle fleet of 1990 and 1991 light duty cars and trucks driven on the Federal Test Procedure (FTP) driving cycle were examined to determine remote sensing errors of commission in identifying high emissions vehicles. Results are combined with a similar analysis of errors of omission based on modal FTP data from high emissions vehicles. Extremely low errors of commission combined with modest errors of omission indicate that remote sensing should be very effective in isolating high CO and HC emitting vehicles in a fleet of late model vehicles on the road. 13 refs., 5 figs., 6 tabs.
