An Overview of Chassis Dynamometer in the Testing of Vehicle Emission

Abstract

Air pollution is a risk to health and the vehicle emission is becoming a serious cause of the air pollution. Vehicle emission is influenced by many factors. The measurement of the vehicle emission can be achieved by the chassis dynamometer which can simulate the driving on the real road. The chassis-dynamometer-based testing can provide a repeatable experiment and precise emission evaluation under various driving condition. In this paper, we review the testing of vehicle emission based on a chassis dynamometer. The investigation results manifest that advance testing method for achieving the real-world driving resistance should be studied and better data analysis method should be proposed to get a more reasonable driving cycle.
