Exhaust emissions and fuel consumption measurements can be improved by using an automatic driver, because the driving habits of individual drivers, which affect statistical and systematic errors considerably, are then avoided. A suitable, easily operated prototype was developed and tested under realistic conditions in an emissions laboratory. The driving performance of the automatic driver was compared with that of an experienced human driver. Criteria for evaluation were: deviation from desired speed, throttle valve angle and the exhaust gas components HC, CO, NOx, and CO2.
