The report documents the methodologies used in the development of fuel consumption and emission maps for 15 passenger vehicles representative of 64 percent of the 1980-1992 population. From the results of the study, the Federal Highway Administration is currently updating the fuel consumption and emission estimation algorithms in traffic models such as NETSIM and TRANSYT-7F. These results include tables and graphs which relate fuel consumption and emissions to vehicle speed and acceleration. The major achievement of this study was the capability of combining laboratory (dynamometer) testing with on-road testing to assess the energy and environmental characteristics of passenger vehicles as they operate in 'real-world' conditions.
