Noise Emission of Moving Vehicles in Urban Areas Proposal for Change of the Wording in 2.2.2 for the Tyres to be Used for the Test ECE R51.02 Method B 52 nd GRB Geneva, 06-08 September 2010 Horst-Peter Fingerhut Manfred Klopotek von Glowczewski 2
Conclusion ( Informal document No. GRB-51-20) The new noise test method for HCV according to ISO 362-1:2007 is designed under the circumstance that tyre road noise can be neglected Because: The tyre road noise contribution for HCV during driving in urban areas is of no importance according to all studies made The new noise test procedure for HCV according to ISO 362-1:2007 is rather sensitive to the choice of the tyres The new noise test method for HCV according to ISO 362-1:2007 addresses the most important noise sources during driving in urban areas by the WOT test 3
Original Version ECE R51.02 Method B 2.2.2. The tyres to be used for the test shall be representative for the axle and shall be selected by the vehicle manufacturer and recorded in Annex 9. They shall correspond to one of the tyre sizes designated for the vehicle as original equipment. The tyre is or will be commercially available on the market at the same time as the vehicle 2/. The tyres shall be inflated to the pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer for the test mass of the vehicle. The tyres shall have a tread depth of at least 80 per cent of the full tread depth. 2/ The tyre contribution for overall sound emission being important, this Regulation has taken into account the tyre/road sound emission regulations. Snow tyres and special tyres according to UNECE Regulation No. 117 shall be excluded during type-approval- and COP-measurements on request of the manufacturer. 4
