These absorption bands are called <em>\u201cspectral signature\u201d<\/em> of each gas, and generally are found in infrared and ultraviolet areas of the specter. That is the reason why gas compounds are, more likely, invisible to the human eye.<\/p>\n\n<p>The described principle is exploited by means of a multispectral imaging system, capable of adequately selecting the gases of greatest interest (carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides). Using a multispectral imaging system able to select gases of interest (CO, CO2, hydrocarbons, particles), RIO can identify deficiencies in the combustion process, key responsible for air pollution.<\/p>\n\n<p>Particle detection is carried out by a similar principle, selecting the most suitable wavelengths for the absorption of those particles whose diameter is considered of greatest interest (NOx, PM2.5, PM10, etc).<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"725\" height=\"196\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/wp-uploads.bucket.wp.uc3m.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/90\/2023\/06\/06113259\/RIO_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/wp-uploads.bucket.wp.uc3m.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/90\/2023\/06\/06113259\/RIO_02.jpg 725w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/wp-uploads.bucket.wp.uc3m.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/90\/2023\/06\/06113259\/RIO_02-480x130.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 725px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Figure. <\/strong>Left, scheme of RIO system for on road high emitter vehicle detection. <\/em><br\/><em> Right, system configuration for passive measure on gantries above the road for multilane detection<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>Operative prototype RIO belongs to gas spectroradiometry research line of LIR-Infrared LAB, Carlos III University of Madrid, and it has been crystallized in various I+D projects.
