| Abstract |
This report presents the results of a three part study involving (1) the enhancement of EPA's VEHSIM vehicle simulation computer program for studying vehicle emission effects, (2) the application of this program to the determination of vehicle fuel economy and emission responses to variation in driving cycles, vehicle weight, acceleration rates, and emission control constraints, and (3) the reduction of EPA-furnished raw data on transient and temperature effects on emissions. The VEHSIM vehicle simulation computer program was modified to perform simultaneous computations of fuel economy and emission factors for HC, CO and NOx. The weight sensitivity analysis showed that the effect of increasing weight in three different vehicles decreased fuel economy, produced mixed results for HC emissions, and generally increased CO and NOx emissions. Increasing driving cycle acceleration/deceleration rates was found generally to decrease fuel economy and to increase emission rates. Driving cycle simulation using two sets of emission control logic developed by DOT to optimize EPA 55/45 fuel economy were found to improve fuel economy, but to increase HC and NOx under higher speed driving conditions compared to the LA-4 which was the emissions basis for the control logic development. |
