摘要: |
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) modified a 2014 Ford Fusion vehicle to perform driveability events on-demand in accordance with procedures detailed in Coordinating Research Council (CRC) Cold-Start and Warmup E85 Cold Ambient Temperature Driveability Program. Four driveability events at three different severity levels as shown in Table 1 were enabled by intercepting the accelerator pedal and ignition timing signals of the stock vehicle’s engine control module. Real-time software enabling the driveability events was written in LabVIEW language and deployed on a National Instruments (NI) Compact RIO (cRIO) 9035 controller. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) was deployed on a Microsoft Surface tablet to communicate with the controller. Driveability raters recommended by CRC helped calibrate and validate the system on-site at SwRI and at an external test track over a period of 2 weeks. The raters were pleased with the overall system performance. The primary project objectives were met successfully. In addition to the required scope of work, SwRI performed a repeatability study to draw statistically significant conclusions. Data was collected over 2266 events and a correlation study was performed comparing triggered driveability events versus events reported by the raters. The study revealed accuracy at an event level was about 95%. This means, for example, if a hesitation event was triggered, the raters would identify it as a hesitation 95% of the time. Differences in average sensitivity of raters contributed to lower severity accuracies. Quantification of various driveability events performed as part of this project would enable building a “gold” standard for training future raters. Results from the testing and conclusions are detailed in this report. |
