12th Annual Onboard Sensing, Analysis, and Reporting (OSAR) Conference Highlights Advancements in Emissions Research and Measurement Systems


The 12th Annual Onboard Sensing, Analysis, and Reporting (OSAR) conference, held in Riverside, California, was a success, drawing over 150 attendees from industry, academia, and government agencies. Led by Kent Johnson, Associate Researcher, and Assistant Adjunct Professor for the Emission and Fuel Research Laboratory, the event provided a platform for global experts to discuss the latest advancements in measurement systems, activity measurements, and less traditional emission sources.

The conference featured presentations covering a wide range of topics, including regulatory PEMS, micro and nano PEMS, in-situ sensors, and more. It also highlighted emissions and performance measurements from unconventional sources, such as battery electric vehicles, brake and tire measurements, and zero-emission vehicles and equipment, reflecting a forward-thinking approach to the future of transportation.

The conference also provided a platform for industry leaders to present their latest sustainable transportation solutions. It was a valuable resource for those interested in emissions research and measurement systems, fostering collaboration among experts in these fields.

Dr. Aaron Katzenstein, Deputy Executive Officer of the Technology Advancement Office of the South Coast Air Quality Management District, delivered a lecture on the challenges of charging zero-emissions vehicles in California and low-cost options to reduce GHGs, adding to the conference's educational value.

In summary, The 12th Annual OSAR conference underscored the importance of innovation and collaboration in addressing emissions reduction and sustainability challenges in the transportation sector. The event's success was made possible through the support of sponsors CARB, Horiba, SCAQMD, 3DATX, Sensors, RA Automotive, AVL, Indrio, NCST, and CARTEEH, and anticipation for next year's event is high, as it promises to push the boundaries of onboard sensing, analysis, and reporting further.
