자동차 표시연비는 국가적으로 에너지관리 지표로서 활용되며, 자동차 제작사의 기술개발을 유도하고, 소비자 차량구매 시 정보제공의 역할을 담당하고 있다. 하지만 정부의 표시연비가 체감연비와 상이하다는 소비자 불만이 지속되어 정부는 보다 정확한 표시연비 측정을 위해 미국의 5-cycle 시험방법을 국내 차량 기준에 맞게 재설정하여 도입하였다. 본래는 다양한 환경조건 및 주행패턴이 반영된 5개의 시험모드를 모두 주행함으로써 측정된 결과 값을 표시연비로 계산하는 방법이지만 소요되는 자원의 급격한 증가에 따른 충격을 완화하기 위하여 2개의 시험모드(도심(FTP-75 mode), 고속도로(HWFET mode))의 결과 값을 5-cycle 시험법으로 계산된 연비 값과 동등한 수준으로 산출하는 5-cycle 보정식을 사용하고 있다. 이 보정식은 2011년에 30대 차량의 5-cycle 시험방법으로 산출되었으나 최근 자동차 기술의 급속한 발전으로 인한 신형식 자동차에 대한 기존 5-cycle 보정식에 대한 검토가 필요할 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구에서는 최근 기술이 적용된 14대의 신형식 자동차를 대상으로 기존과 동일한 시험 방법을 통해 시험모드별 연비 특성을 확인하고, 기존에 개발된 보정식과 차이를 분석한 결과 기존 시험 차량 결과와 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으며 보정식 또한 최대 1.5% 이내의 오차로써 기존 연비 보정식은 현재의 자동차 기술발전에 따른 개선도에 크게 영향을 받고 있지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

시험방법 중 현재 국내 자동차 연비계산 방법은 차대동력계에 시험차량을 설치한 후, 주어진 시험모드(FTP-75 & HWFET 모드 등)에 따라 차량을 주행하여 측정되어지는 배출가스 결과를 가지고 계산에 의해 연비를 구하는 방식인 카본발란스 측정법(Carbon balance method)을 이용하고 있다. 이때 사용하고 있는 카본발란스 측정법은 시험방법 개발 당시의 표준연료에 대해 연료물성을 구하고, 이때 구하여진 상수 값과 시험에서 측정되어진 THC, CO, $CO_2$ 값을 가지고 계산하게 된다. 그러므로 시험할 때마다 매번 바뀌게 되는 사용 연료의 연료물성 특성은 정확히 고려되지 않게 된다. 주어진 시험연료에 따라 엔진성능 및 배출가스 결과가 변하게 되고, 많은 대체연료가 나오고 있는 현 시점에서 시험연료의 물성 특성을 연비계산 시에도 고려해야만 된다고 생각된다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 사용하고 있는 카본발란스법과 실제 시험에 사용된 연료의 유량을 측정하는 유량측정 방법을 이용한 결과를 비교하여, 시험에 사용된 연료의 물성 특성을 고려할 수 있는 방법을 연구함으로서, 다양해지고 있는 연료의 물성 특성을 고려해 줄 수 있는 개선된 연비측정 방법을 검토해 보고자 한다.

There are many methods to test engine emissions depending on the regulations used such as FTP-75(CYS-75) mode, 10-15 mode and ECE-15 mode. Most of these modes consist of transient conditions such as cranking, rapid acceleration or deceleration modes. In this experimental research, the transient characteristics including cranking and accelerating mode in SI engines were studied to compare pure gasoline with methanol-reformulated fuels for performance and exhaust emissions. The results show that methanol-reformulated fuels have a better emissions reduction rate than that of pure gasoline especially for HC, CO and NOx emissions during cranking mode. The acceleration performances conform to the results of the distillation curve and the CO concentration for RM50 varies slightly in acceleration mode.

A gasoline injector rig which can measure cumulative injected fuel mass under a vehicle driving condition was developed. The measurement system consists of an engine control unit (ECU), data acquisition (DAQ) and injected fuel collection system using loadcells. By supplying reconstructed sensor signals which simulate the real vehicle's sensor signals to the ECU, the ECU drives injectors as if they were driven in the vehicle. The vehicle's performance was computer simulated by using $GT-Suite^{(R)}$ software based on both engine part load performance and automatic transmission shift map. Throttle valve position, engine and vehicle speed, air mass flow rate et al. were computer simulated. The used vehicle driving pattern for the simulation was FTP-75 mode. For reconstructing the real vehicle sensor signals which are correspondent to the $GT-Suite^{(R)}$ simulated vehicle's performance, the DAQ systems were used. The injected fuel was collected with mess cylinders. The collected fuel mass in the mess cylinder with elapsed time after starting FTP-75 driving mode was measured using loadcells. The developed method shows highly improved performance in fast timing and accuracy of the cumulative injected fuel mass measurement under the vehicle driven condition.

There are a lot of factors that influence automotive fuel economy such as average trip time per kilometer, average trip speed, the number of times of vehicle stationary, and so forth. These factors depend on road conditions and traffic environment. In this study, various driving data were measured and recorded during road tests in Seoul. The accumulated road test mileage is around 1,300 kilometers. The objective of the study is to identify the driving patterns of the Seoul metropolitan area and to analyze the fuel economy based on these driving patterns. The driving data which was acquired through road tests was analysed statistically in order to obtain the driving characteristics via modal analysis, speed analysis, and speed-acceleration analysis. Moreover, the driving data was analyzed by multivariate statistical techniques including correlation analysis, principal component analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis in order to obtain the relationships between influencing factors on fuel economy. The analyzed results show that the average speed is around 29.2 km/h, and the average fuel economy is 10.23 km/L. The vehicle speed of the Seoul metropolitan area is slower, and the stop-and-go operation is more frequent than FTP-75 test mode which is used for emission and fuel economy tests. The average trip time per kilometer is one of the most important factors in fuel consumption, and the increase of the average speed is desirable for reducing emissions and fuel consumption.

The objective of this paper was to investigate the slip rate and the slip frequency number of damper clutch of torque converter in 2.4L passenger vehicle with 5-speed A/T and analyze the effect of slip control and control strategy on driving characteristics and the fuel economy. The newly developed torque converter with the more durable wet friction material and the slip-controlled damper clutch system, the DCC system, was installed, which was easily compatible and amendable of the lock-up clutch of the base system. The vehicle has been tested on the fuel economy modes such as FTP-75, HWFET and NEDC (ECE15+EUDC) driving cycle at chassis dynamometer. The DCC mode (II), of which the control strategy had both the lock-up and the slip-controlled clutch, and the DCC mode (I) with full slip-controlled clutch were compared with the base system with only the lock-up clutch. As the research result, comparison to base system, the fuel consumption of the vehicle with the DCC control (II) was effectively improved by 6.6% and 7.7% on FTP-75 and NEDC mode.

Manufacturers have been applying several technologies that can improve the fuel economy of their cars. The regulated voltage control(RVC) system, is one of those technologies being used in passenger cars. In RVC, the voltage of an alternator is controlled depending on the electrical load demand or battery SOC, although each manufacturer differs from another in terms of detail. RVC can reduce the load of an alternator by consuming the stored energy of a battery and simultaneously generate energy. In this paper, a diesel passenger car equipped with an RVC system was tested under FTP-75 and HWFET modes to evaluate fuel economy as their initial battery SOC(100, 90, 80 and 60 %). The test results showed that the initial SOC affects fuel economy only under the FTP-75 mode. FTP-75 fuel economy of the 60% SOC was 13.2 % lower than the 100 % SOC. Also, the simultaneous consumption of the two energy sources did not appear in 60 % SOC.

This Research focuses on how to maximize fuel economy improvement of I.S.G. while keeping 12V system. With 12V system the maximum gain of fuel economy with I.S.G. is known to be about 3~5% in FTP-75 mode because engine stop is only conducted in standstill idle. But in this study deceleration engine stop (engine speed is zero) has been tried additionally and the optimum condition for deceleration engine stop was found to maximize fuel economy improvement in practical point of view, the result of which is about 8.8% in FTP-75.

이산화탄소는 지구온난화를 일으키는 온실가스의 하나의 주요요인으로 생각되어진다. $CO_2$는 탄화수소를 연료로 사용하는 연소에서 배기가스의 주성분이다. 자동차의 $CO_2$ 배출물에 대한 규제는 최근에 더욱 절박하게 대두되어 왔다. 이러한 심각한 규제는 배기가스를 저감하는 대체연료를 개발할 수 있는 자동차 제품들에게 요구되는 것이다. 본 논문은 가솔린, 디젤, LPG 자동차를 사용하여, FTP-75와 NEDC(ECE15+EUDC) 모두에 따라서 $CO_2$ 배출물과 연료소비율(연비)과의 상관관계를 검토했다. 이 논문을 통해서 탄소중량비가 낮은 연료 일수록 $CO_2$ 발생량의 감소율이 큰 것을 알 수 있다. 사용한 연료에 따라서 $CO_2$ 배출량과 연비와의 관계를 함수로 표현할 수 있었으며, 높은 상관관계를 갖는 것을 알 수 있었다. LPG차량은 휘발유와 디젤차량보다 $CO_2$ 배출량이 적게 배출되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of present study is to analysis the Characteristics of fuel economy and Green house gases due to the driving mode conditions of The hybrid electric vehicle(HEV). HEVs are divided into mild and power types according to the their functions. mild type HEVs are inexpensive because they do not need to implement a pure electric mode. Power type HEVs are more expensive but has also better fuel efficiency. In the present paper, the test results for the gasoline vehicle using FTP-75 mode and HWFET are present.
