1. A device that senses emissions from a vehicle using a communication network having a plurality of layers, the emission sensing device comprising:
- a user information interface, said user interface being a part of an upper layer of the communication network;
a detector that detects information about a vehicle, said detector in communication with said user information interface and being a part of a lower layer of the communication network;
a processor in communication with the detector to receive the information from said detector and process the information, said processor being a part of a middle layer of the communication network; and
a storage device that stores the information, said storage device in communication with said processor and being a part of said lower layer.

Abstract
A system for processing sensed vehicle data includes a sensor for sensing data related to at least one characteristic of a passing vehicle and a host unit that receives sensed data from the sensor. The sensor and the host unit are integrated into a single housing. The host stores data and communicates with peripheral devices and/or with a central processing facility.
