Specification

I. Field of Inversion
Embodiments of the invention relate, in general, to Computerized Pollution Under Control
Centers (CPUCC) and more specifically, the embodiments of the invention relate to methods and systems for networking of the CPUCC.
[1] Today, most of the developing countries are becoming cautious regarding emission of pollutants froim automobiles. To combat the emission of the pollutants, various emission standards are being implemented by the government. The emission standards are implemented far environmental protection and pollution control. These emission standards set forth certain requirements to limit an amount of the pollutants that can be released into the environment. Many of the emission standards have been developed that focus on regulating and inspecting the emission of the pollutants by the automobiles. In India, Pollution Under! Control (PUC) is one such system of the inspection, under governmental control, to inspect the emission standards for the automobiles.
[2] Typically, a Computerized Pollution Under Control Center (CPUCC) is commissioned to inspect the emission of the pollutants by the automobiles. The CPUCC is an agency that is employed for testing and inspecting of air pollution-causing emission levels that are associated with the automobiles. For example, the CPUCC can inspect a gaseous content in the pollutants using various equipments such as a gas analyzer. These equipments test the emission levels based on gases that are emitted from an exhaust system of the automobile.
[3] Generally, the CPUCC are commissioned near gas stations for the automobiles. Further, the CPUCC can inspect the exhaust system of the automobiles for Hydrocarbon levels, Nitroger) oxide (NO2) levels, Carbon monoxide (CO) levels, Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and the ilike. For example, the CPUCC may use a test equipment such as a gas analyzer or a smoke meter for calculating the nitrogen oxide levels in the emitted gases. [4] Further, the CPUCC can issue a Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate for the automobile based on the emission levels of the exhaust system and the pre-defined emission stancards. The pre-defined emission standards are specified by a regulatory body such as the government. This PUC certificate indicates that the automobile falls under an 'approved' category. Moreover, the PUC certificatse indicates certification of the automobile for it's compliance with the predefined emission standards. Moreover, the CPUCC can use a vendor software program for collecting pollution data of the automobile. The pollution data is related to the emission levels of the automobiles.

[5] The CPUCC, in India, require installing a web camera, the vendor software program, a computer, an ink-jet color printer etc., as per the requirement of the Indian
'* •
government. However, the vendor software program has not been standardized,
throughout various CPUCC for collecting and managing the pollution data. •
[6] Further, most of the CPUCC are in form of mobile test centers and roadside? checking units, which are particularly difficult to supervise and control. Moreover, the CPUCC utilize different formats for storing and managing the pollution data. This brings inconsistency while compiling the pollution data from the various CPUCC.
