ABSTRACT

A Road to Rig (R2R) whole vehicle development, calibration and verification approach known as Real Driving Emissions Plus (RDE+) is being developed at HORIBA MIRA using road, chassis dynamometer, Engine-in-the-Loop (EiL) and virtual toolsets. This will enable real world scenarios to be deployed further upstream of the vehicle and engine programme with the aim of reducing development timescales and costs that will inevitably increase due to RDE regulations.

Reported in this paper are the methodologies developed thus far to achieve Real Driving Emissions (RDE) replication (driving style, altitude and temperature) using chassis and engine dynamometers, EiL co-simulation and use of RDE vehicle test validation.
