Data Pre-Processing (Gaseous) 22
Data QA/QC Checks In order to perform the QA/QC task, a variety of plots were created to expose outlying, unusual, or inaccurate data Exhaust flowrate distributions by vehicle Exhaust concentration distributions by vehicle Raw vs corrected exhaust concentrations by vehicle Maximum and mean exhaust concentrations by test, displayed together by vehicle Exhaust concentrations vs time by test VSP bin frequency and VSP binned emission mass rates by vehicle data flags in SAS were used to draw attention to values that lie outside of expected ranges
Automatic Error detection Checking and calibrating speedometer reading by GPS 1) Select the good GPS data by extracting Horizontal dilution of ratio < 1.3 2) Linear regression with Speedometer data to measure R2 and slope 3) Use the slope to calibrate speedometer readings Partial speedometer error Speedometer error Normal data
Automatic Error detection Abnormal jumps in exh. temp. Jumps in THC readings Outliers in NO readings Abnormally long negative readings Cold start Drift in THC High THC peaks

NO emissions of post-scr at 6 months after SCR retrofit (blue triangles) are close to base line emissions (red triangles) and highly fluctuating. Description NO NO2 NOx %reduction at 1 month after SCR retrofit vs. baseline 73-85% 81-92% 74-86% %reduction at 6 months after SCR retrofit vs. baseline -14-50% 70-94% -2-56% %reduction at 9 months after SCR retrofit vs. baseline 54-69% 67-80% 57-71% 37
One trip for this FBDD has urea shortage. The NO & NO2 reductions are particularly low. Description NO NO2 NOx %reduction at 1 month after SCR retrofit vs. baseline 55-65% 35-54% 56-63% %reduction at 6 months after SCR retrofit vs. baseline 60-72% 68-77% 62-72% %reduction at 9 months after SCR retrofit vs. baseline (Excluding urea shortage trip) 64-70% 61 69% (with one trip 35%) 64 68% 38
The NO reductions are very small at 6 months after the retrofit because SCR had broken down due to uncontrolled regeneration (green triangles) Description NO NO2 NOx %reduction at 1 month after SCR retrofit vs. baseline %reduction at 6 months after SCR retrofit vs. baseline 78-93% 57-73% 77-81% 25-37% 68-71% 41-49% 39
PM Emission Factors The color is white even though PM emissions are high Filter for other high emitting vehicle
We have the following criteria: abs(intercept/ max. sample flow) <= 5% (c.f. ISO 16183: <= 2%) Std error/mean <= 10% (c.f. CFR1065 <= 3.5%) Std error/max. <= 5% (ISO16183: <= 5%) R2 >0.95 (c.f. ISO 16183: >0.95) Normal Situation excessive idling Test trips with excessive idling can also introduce significant PM error 41
PM results for SCR Euro IV coaches > 15 t 42
Estimated PM (g/s) Real time PM AVL PM PEMS is capable to measure real time soot conc., and then estimate real time PM emissions from soot, CO, CO2, THC conc. These real time PM emissions are then calibrated by PM mass collected in the on-board filter. These high PM emissions are due to hard accelerations when the vehicle started. Time (s)
