Work plan – 1. Background and objectives
Objectives of Phase II:
• To develop two procedures in parallel
• ACEA leads the development of the random cycle
generator
• JRC leads the development of PEMS
Work plan – 2. Project organization
Project organization – 2.4 Project deliverables
• A technical report describing the development of both
procedures
• Consolidated test protocols for random cycle and PEMS
testing
Work plan – 3. Technical elements

Dedicated word document
Work plan – Boundary conditions
• ACEA request: Excel file with stakeholder suggestions on
boundary conditions (April 2012)
• Working document: RDE-LDV boundary conditions –
Draft 1 (July 2012)
• List of parameters and data sources
• Uploaded to Circa on 31 July 2012
• 1. Completeness of parameters
• 2. Decision on parameter values
Work plan – Boundary conditions
1. Completeness of parameters and list of reference
information
• Limited feedback
• Agreement on layout and parameter selection
Work plan – Boundary conditions
2. Decision on parameter values
• Earlier feedback (May and June 2012)
• Additional recent feedback
• Feedback should be substantiated by research and
rationale
• Principle approach for selecting values and value ranges
Work plan – Boundary conditions
Possible ways forward
• Ambient conditions: Regulation 582/2011 as basis
• Random cycle development: WLTP short trips
• Challenging parameters, e.g., road grade
• No regulation
• Selection based on expert judgment within RDE-LDV
• Selection based on the analysis of a sample of GIS data
• Comprehensive analysis of European road grad distribution
