WLTP Annex 4, Road load CalculationIntroduction, Motivation
WLTP Annex 4, Road load calculation, BMW / Audi, 14.03.2013
Motivation:• In order to get a representative and repeatable CO2-value for an individual vehicle,
many measurements are necessary.• Measurements are expensive and object to measurement inaccuracies
Proposal:• Measure only worst- and best-case.• Calculate the individual car.• Details are shown here.
Introduction:
It is possible to calculate the influence of aerodynamics, rolling resistance and mass.
This calculation is at least as accurate as a measurement (equipment, tolerances).

WLTP Annex 4, Road load calculation, BMW / Audi, 14.03.2013
• This calculation provides more representative CO2-values (including RR) and reduces the number of measurements at the same time.
• Calculation can be more precise than measurements.• If the CO2-range gets too large, measuring of intermediate points could be a solution and/or
the 4 parts (low, mid, high, extra-high) can be interpolated separately.• Worst-case approach: Calculation will also work, if influences are set to worst-case. E.g.
leaving out aerodynamics or taking the worst RR.

WLTP Annex 4, Road load CalculationProposal
WLTP Annex 4, Road load calculation, BMW / Audi, 14.03.2013
The road load coefficients f0, f1 and f2 for an individual vehicle within in a vehicle family is determined through interpolation of:• measured data of selected vehicle using tyres out of highest rolling resistance class and
equipped with selectable options with highest aerodynamic drag (measured at TMH) and• measured data of selected vehicle using tyres out of lowest rolling resistance class and
equipped with selectable options with lowest aerodynamic drag (measured at TML).
• F0F1F2ind = F0F1F2bc + DF0ind + DF2ind with
DF0ind = interpolation of F0max – F0min (based on RR difference and individual vehicle test mass) DF2ind = interpolation of F2max – F2min (based on manufacturer data of aerodynamic drag of selected options)
If the road load of a vehicle is tested only at TMH, the rolling resistance has to be derived from data at TMH.
If the manufacturer does not provide aerodynamic data of selected options, F2 from the vehicle with highest aerodynamic drag shall be used.
WLTP Annex 4, Road load CalculationJustification und Summary
WLTP Annex 4, Road load calculation, BMW / Audi, 14.03.2013
• With individual road load, the CO2-value of an individual vehicle can be checked (e.g. COP).
• Less test burden due to fewer measurements.• Calculation is at least as accurate as measuring.• Worst-case approach is always possible.• Calculation is done by traceable formulas, only basic physics are used.• CO2-effect of each option can be communicated to the customer
Validation necessary?
