Being seamlessly integrated into INCA, specialists can conduct RDE tests in their familiar working environment for taking in-vehicle measurements, calibrating control units and diagnostics.
INCA-RDE can be used to execute RDE driving tests in a controlled and reproducible manner. The INCA add-on makes it possible to efficiently determine RDE emissions and correlate them with signals from the ECU. For this purpose, it provides special display instruments that enable test engineers to monitor and evaluate RDE measurements during driving tests.
An ES59x universal interface module can be used to connect the INCA-RDE software tool to a portable emissions measurement system (PEMS) via CAN. In addition to emission measurements, INCA-RDE online evaluates likewise OBD and GPS data collected by the PEMS. To check the vehicle-dynamics conditions, INCA-RDE supports the alternative methods “moving averages” (EMROAD) and “ratings per performance class” (CLEAR). The results of analysis – the actual RDE data – are displayed on the RDE-specific instruments within the INCA experiment. This data is also recorded by INCA every ten milliseconds in synchronicity with signals from the engine control unit.
