Abstract: Pollution has been one of the major concerns of a lot of countries across the globe. With the rapib urbanization and decreasing green cover, it has become very important to continously monitor the air quality and keep pollution below the prescribed limits. Though the goverments have set norms at for every vehicle pollution level, it becomes very difficult to keep a check on the vechile emissions in develping countries like India where the vehicle density is very high and not all owners are aware or take the effort to keep a check on the pollution caused by their vehicles. The paper presents a solution which can be implemented on strategic locations on the road to identify the vehicle which are emitting pollutants above the prescribed limits and allow the authorities to imitate necessary actions against such vehicles.
