VEX-RDE (System Overview)

By combining sensor values, the actual exhaust mass-flow (either via ECU-data and/or EFM) and vehicle dynamics (GPS data and/or OBD-II) we provide pollution-relevant values like NOx, NH3, CO2, etc. in g/km!
RDE (Real Driving Emissions)
New regulations in the EU require mandatory Real Driving Emissions (RDE) test-drives for
-
new type approvals: from 09/2017
-
for every vehicle: from 2018
The VEX provides for an inexpensive solution to carry out these tests on a large scale (i.e. many test vehicles) - as opposed to an expensive full-featured PEMS.
The driver will get immediate feedback on the current test-drive
and in future versions *) also guidance for remaining tasks - e.g. remaining distances yet to drive on urban and rural roads as well as motorways in order to comply to RDE guidelines.
*) if bundled with an optional mobile-device to visualize the test-drive status
Countries as e.g. India and China will soon apply similar regulations.
Use Cases
Instead of using an expensive and cumbersome PEMS, use the VEX for most of your exhaust test-drives to measure every pollution relevant gas (plus particle, GPS, temperature, etc.) for only a fraction of the cost and effort!
Due to VEX's simple usage, there's no need for a specially-trained technician.

Most gas-sensors are state-of-the-art ruggedized ceramic sensors
yielding excellent accuracy and fast response times!
Simple Operation



Connect 2-wire power
Connect sensors *
Connect INCA
...done!
*) for first-time setup, each sensor's CAN-settings must be configured.
This can be done easily by importing the relevant dbc-file!
The integrated 4-line display visualizes the connected sensor's values in real-time.
Four keys for user-interaction - e.g.
-
toggle sending of dew-point messages
-
change the device configuration
