Engine data collection and development of a pilot driving cycle for Pereira city by using low cost diagnostic tools

(Eng) The objective of this paper is to present a methodology designed to develop a driving cycle to model traffic in the Pereira city in Colombia. Under the scope of this pilot work, four different gasoline passenger cars furnished with real time datalogging equipment were used to collect speed-time data under actual traffic along Pereira urban area. The speed-acceleration characteristics were analyzed, and target driving parameters were defined and evaluated. The designed method for building the driving cycle was then applied. As a result, a simple driving schedule for analyzing propulsion, fuel consumption rate, and emission control strategies of automobiles under Pereira downtown conditions has been proposed. Under the scope of the same project, was also studied the utility of the engine specific data collected during the vehicle operation for the purposes of engine performance assessment.
