Application of IVE Software for the Indirect Estimation of Pollutant Emissions from Mobile Sources with Otto Cycle Engine - Comparison of Results with Direct Measurement in Route in the Metropolitan District of Quito

Project Report from the year 2018 in the subject Engineering - Automotive Engineering, grade: 10/10, , language: English, abstract: This article deals with the application of the IVE software for the indirect estimation of pollutant emissions from mobile sources with Otto cycle engine and comparison of results with direct measurement in route in the Metropolitan District of Quito. For the indirect estimation, we proceeded to quantify time data, altitude and speed with a GPS, these values were adjusted with a data filtering program to generate the matrix file for the development of the IVE program to later enter vehicle technology data, atmospheric conditions, time and date of the test and thus obtain global polluting emissions. For the direct measurement three routes were developed: city cycle, road cycle, combined cycle in which On-Board measuring equipment was used, to collect pollutant emissions values in route, and an external tank to quantify the fuel consumption in each trip.
