It allows one to evaluate the direct effect that real road traffic conditions have on environmental pollution. Among the variables to be simultaneously measured are: (a) from vehicle activity: regime engine and temperature, fuel consumption, global position, instantaneous and average speed and acceleration, frontal and lateral inclination; (b) related to route features: weather conditions, slope and camber of the road, traffic density; and (c) derived from driver activity: clutch, throttle and brake pedal actions. The designed prototype can be on boarded in conventional or industrial vehicles, working in both urban and inter-urban conditions. The paper describes the integration with pollutant emissions meters. Besides, it includes experimental results carried out in real traffic conditions relating vehicle–driver–route activity with gasses emissions.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.761</style></accession-num><call-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Engineering multidisciplinary</style></call-num></record></records></xml>
