UDDS
When there is no gear ratio selected or it is at 1, there is no transmission input or output speed and also brakes are applied, It implies vehicle is at rest. When gear ratio is highest transmission output speed is high and acceleration is also highest, it simply means vehicle is at its maximum performance.
As this plot how's the UDDS condition, in urban as we know there is lot of breaking which is shown in the plot. So, keeping in mind we can design vehicle suitable for such condition.
This is the engine fuel consumption map, Here we can see that at Engine Speed 2500 and 4500 torque and engine fuel consumption is highest. Above plot also shows the operating region of the engine which is till 4th gear.
Above plot shows the time trace of engine torque,engine power,fuel rate and fuel consumption, we can also see the variation in Engine torque, Engine Power and Fuel rate respective to each other. We can see here fuel rate is increasing along with the time.
This plot show that there is so much variation in actual speed and desired speed.We can also see along with time vehicle is capturing more and more distance which is very obvious. The difference between the desired speed and actual speed shows the % of losses in the system.
HWFET
This plot shows the condition of HWFET i.e. highway. Here we can see breaking is very less and acceleration is at high rate. Also we see the transmission output speed is also more compared to input speed. Gear is at its highest ratio for most of the time.
This is engine fuel consumption map. The orange lines shows the operating point.
Here we can see time trace of various parameters i.e. engine torque, engine power,fuel rate and fuel consumption. one significant difference as compared to UDDS is that because here we have very less braking fuel rate seems to constant for some amount of time.
Here we can see there is so much difference between the actual speed and the desired speed.
a] kmpl for UDDS = 28.7791
kmpl for HWFET = 40.2714
This values shows us that fuel economy is high in HWFET as compared to UDDS. As we know on highway there is less traffic compared to urban area which leads to the smoother vehicle travel.
That's why fuel economy rate is more in HWFET.
