AUTONOMOUS & CONNECTED VEHICLES
The HORIBA RDE+ solution includes a novel R2R testing method known as HORIBA Torque Matching for replicating and simulating different real-world conditions, e.g. changes in weather, while measuring emissions with laboratory precision. Software coordinates the control of the R2R tools needed to replicate real-world conditions in a lab while also coordinating the workflow of the R2R test routine.
How road-to-rig testing speeds vehicle development efforts Road-to-rig testing brings real-world emissions testing into a precision lab setting and is generally regarded as the future of vehicle development. JOSH ISRAEL | HORIBA AUTOMOTIVE TEST SYSTEMS
In 1995, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created Rover—a first-of-its-kind on-board mass emissions measurement system. In the 25 years since the creation of that first unit, the automotive testing world has been applying and refining on-board test equipment, ultimately known as Portable Emissions Measurement Systems (PEMS).

On-board, real-world emissions testing is best characterized by how it contrasts to traditional vehicle certification testing. Traditional laboratory test programs apply precision instrumentation and testing methods to measure highly variable exhaust emissions. Vehicle manufacturers and regulators run lab tests in climate-controlled facilities and apply loads to the vehicle via a full-vehicle chassis dynamometer that simulates driving. The traditional laboratory approach tests vehicle emissions with sophisticated and precision equipment and methods under a eeworldonline.com
