Developing the matlab toolbox for determining the real-world driving characteristics of vehicles

The real-world driving features of a vehicle play an important role in determining its actual fuel consumption and emissions features. The driving data on the road, instant speed versus time, is always collected to explore these characteristics. The collected data may include random errors that need to be processed before being used in further calculation steps. This study seeks to provide a useful tool for addressing data preprocessing and quantifying actual driving features. A seven-step data filter was created and incorporated into the established toolbox. The outcomes of data processing and parameters of real-world driving characteristics are presented on the graphical user interface of the built toolbox. Vehicle-specific power distribution, frequently utilized in fuel consumption and emission simulation software, is also computed using the toolbox. The proposed toolbox, therefore, can be utilized to support determining the vehicle’s emission factors, which serve as an effective data source for the integrated strategies in Vietnam’s air quality control
