RDE CoDriver

Mobile app for RDE testing

The RDE CoDriver is a mobile app that helps the driver to navigate through the complex Real Driving Emission (RDE) test requirements to ensure the successful completion of the test. These requirements include specific boundaries regarding trip composition, driving dynamics, altitude and temperature conditions.

Throughout an RDE test, the RDE CoDriver app calculates and visualizes real-time information based on the data from a wirelessly connected PEMS (Portable Emissions Measurement System), such as the OBS-ONE. The app immediately informs the driver in case of a failure, reducing wasted test time and resources to a minimum.

Segment: Automotive

Division: Test Automation Systems

Manufacturing Company: HORIBA, Ltd.

Supports European Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151
Connects wirelessly to PEMS and visualizes all relevant information

Supports upload of test results to central data storage for immediate processing

Benefits

The RDE CoDriver takes the complexity out of RDE testing and helps to increase the number of successful tests significantly
The RDE CoDriver substantially reduces the cost for the testing of a vehicle and increases the availability of the car for other tests, hence decreasing development time and cost
The RDE CoDriver allows for training the driver without the need for an actual PEMS unit reducing cost and time for resources

RDE Test with Portable Emission Measurement System (PEMS)

In 2016 the European Commission´s (EC) Member States agreed on new procedures and requirements for light-duty vehicle type approval certification introducing Portable Emission Measurement System (PEMS) for vehicle testing on the road.

Real driving emissions with RDE CoDriver

Real Driving Emission (RDE) tests confirm the results produced during an emissions test on a chassis dynamometer to ensure that vehicles meet the set limits in the real world.
