[F17. NUMERICAL EXAMPLES U.K.
7.1. Averaging window calculations U.K.
Table 1

Main calculation settings

[g] 610
Direction for averaging window calculation Forward
Acquisition frequency [Hz] 1

Figure 6 shows how averaging windows are defined on the basis of data recorded during an on-road test performed with PEMS. For sake of clarity, only the first 1 200 seconds of the trip are shown hereafter.

Seconds 0 up to 43 as well as seconds 81 to 86 are excluded due to operation under zero vehicle speed.

The first averaging window starts at t 1,1 = 0s and ends at second t 2,1 = 524 s (Table 3). The window average vehicle speed, integrated CO and NO x masses [g] emitted and corresponding to the valid data over the first averaging window are listed in Table 4.

Calculation settings for the CO 2 characteristic curve

CO 2 Low Speed WLTC (P 1 ) [g/km] 154
CO 2 High Speed WLTC (P 2 ) [g/km] 96
CO 2 Extra-High Speed WLTC (P 3 ) [g/km] 120
Reference Point
P 1
P 2
P 3

The definition of the CO 2 characteristic curve is as follows:

For the section ( P 1 , P 2 ):

with

and: b 1 = 154 – (– 1,543) × 19.0 = 154 + 29,317 = 183,317

For the section ( P 2 , P 3 ):

with

and: b 2 = 96 – 0,672 × 56,6 = 96 – 38,035 = 57,965

Examples of calculation for the weighing factors and the window categorisation as urban, rural or motorway are:

For window #45:

For the characteristic curve:

Verification of:

124,498 × (1 – 25/100) ≤ 122,62 ≤ 124,498 × (1 + 25/100)

93,373 ≤ 122,62 ≤ 155,622

Leads to: w 45 = 1

For window #556:

For the characteristic curve:

Verification of:

105,982 × (1 – 50/100) ≤ 72,15 ≤ 105,982 × (1 + 25/100)

52,991 ≤ 72,15 ≤ 79,487

Leads to:

w 556 = k 21 h 556 + k 22 = 0,04 · (– 31,922) + 2 = 0,723

with k 21 = 1/( tol 2 tol 1 ) = 1/(50 – 25) = 0,04

and k 22 = k 21 = tol 2 /( tol 2 tol 1 ) = 50/(50 – 25) = 2

7.3. Urban, rural and motorway windows — Trip completeness U.K.

In this numerical example, the trip consists of 7 036 averaging windows. Table 5 lists the number of windows classified in urban, rural and motorway according to their average vehicle speed and divided in regions with respect to their distance to the CO 2 characteristic curve. The trip is complete since it comprises at least 15 % of urban, rural and motorway windows out of the total number of windows. In addition the trip is characterised as normal since at least 50 % of the urban, rural and motorway windows are within the primary tolerances defined for the characteristic curve.

Table 5

Verification of trip completeness and normality

Driving Conditions Numbers Percentage of windows
All Windows
Urban 1 909 1 909 / 7 036 × 100 = 27,1 > 15
Rural 2 011 2 011 / 7 036 × 100 = 28,6 > 15
Motorway 3 116 3 116 / 7 036 × 100 = 44,3 > 15
Total 1 909 + 2 011 + 3 116 = 7 036

Motorway 2 708 2 708 / 3 116 × 100 = 86,9 > 50
Total 1 514 + 1 395 + 2 708 = 5 617 ]
