Annex 4: PCD Automotive Emission
Testing Laboratory, Sample & Procedure
A4.1.
To understand emission from diesel vehicles in Bangkok, the DIESEL
project recruited in-use diesel vehicles to PCD’s Automotive Emission Laboratory
(AEL). The Automotive Emission Laboratory of PCD was founded in 1996 to assist in
vehicle emission inspection. The technical specifications of the laboratory are
summarized as table A4.1 and A4.2 below. At AEL, chassis dynamometer and gas
analyzer system will be used for testing selected in-use vehicles. Figure A4.1 and A4.2
show heavy and light duty diesel emission laboratory using for DIESEL project, and the
schematic are in figure A4.3 and A4.4.

DIESEL Testing Sequence
A4.3.
The DIESEL Project has developed testing protocol for testing sample
vehicles in Bangkok. Each vehicle in the project will be tested with a series of driving
cycles which are short inspection cycle (AC2540), European cycle (EUDC or ETC), and
Bangkok cycle (Point 2). Monitoring pollutants are Particulate Matter (PM), Total
PCD Automotive Emissions Testing Laboratory 101
Hydrocarbon (THC), Oxide of Nitrogen (NOx), Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide
(CO2) and toxic gases. Testing protocols are different among light duty vehicles, heavy
duty buses, and heavy duty trucks.
A4.4.
Since the beginning of the project, the DIESEL project has changed the
sequence of cycles for emission testing. The current testing sequence is more reliable in
term of repeatability. The old, started using in January and August 2005, and new
sequence of light duty diesel vehicles, heavy duty buses, and heavy duty trucks are
illustrated in Figure 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5, respectively.
A4.5.
Individual dynamometer test cycles contained in each testing sequence
were selected to provide a cross-section of traffic conditions similar to those encountered
in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMR). The cycles are a mixture of certification
tests (UDC and EUDC for light-duty vehicles and ETC for heavy duty buses and trucks),
the AC2540 (a short in-use vehicle test developed by Parsons for the Californian ARB)
and a higher speed derivative, the AC2560, plus two drive cycles specifically developed
to reflect Bangkok driving, the Point2 and Point4. The last two tests are drawn from a
suite of in-use vehicle emission tests developed in 2004-05 under a CDM project
undertaken by the Japan Transport Cooperation Association.
A4.6.
Except for some early tests, the dynamometer inertia simulation loads
were set to represent the half-loaded condition of the vehicle (the mean of the vehicle’s
empty and fully loaded mass). The following series of charts illustrates the speed-time
profile of each test cycle.
