Augmented emission maps: the base maps, cold start and deterioration parameters are merged in a single text file

In order to enable the sharing of data the emission data for vehicles is standardized. The data exchange format contains all data that is applicable for a specific engine taxonomy code.

The uploaded maps are the fallback maps for petrol for emissions class Euro 3-5 and diesel with emission class Euro 4-5. Incomplete AEM fallback maps are not uploaded.

The standardized emission map has a “.map.txt” extension and is also human readable. The files  starts with metadata which contains information about:

• the engine taxonomy code,
• total driven kilometers over which the data was gathered,
• total time in hours over which the data was gathered,
• the number of vehicles which were tested to create the emission map,
• the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) reference,
• Which emission maps are available in the file.

The DOI 10.5281/zenodo refers to a meta-data document that provides the full description of the standardized emission map.
