Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for improving the integrity of a vehicle test procedure insures that the vehicle to which a varying test parameter is applied is the same as the vehicle whose response is required. A random variation to the test parameter is introduced, and the response of a chosen vehicle characteristic to the variation is monitored and correlated with the variations. A high correlation confirms that the vehicle whose response is being monitored is in fact the vehicle to which the parameter is applied. The method may advantageously be used in connection with EPA-sanctioned exhaust emission test protocols.
