Breakout Sessions

OBD Breakout Sessions:
The goal of the breakout sessions is to brainstorm the current state and problems of each topic area selected and then talk about possible solutions and future directions the industry could take to solve issues critical to the success of OBD. The format for these sessions is that a pre-selected moderator will give a brief introduction to the topic to help set the tone and direction for group while a scribe will record the major points garnered from the conversations. At the end of the breakout time everyone will reconvene and moderators will share the key results with entire group. Finally all session notes will be made available to each attendee via the web.

2009 Breakout Topics:

• SCR Systems
  The use of Selective Catalyst Reduction Systems for the reduction of NOx and / or NMHC has given rise to new diagnostics requirements and to corresponding diagnostics methodologies, issues and challenges.
• Sensor Technology (NOX, PM,)
• Communications
  As OBD communication requirements increase in complexity, many questions come up with regards to interpreting the multitude of SAE and ISO communication standards used for OBD communication in these vehicles. This breakout session is intended to discuss and review the new requirements in order to share the issues, challenges and lessons learned.
