Analysis of the possibility of determining the general characteristics using the operational data of a vehicle engine

The paper presents an analysis of the possibility of determining the general characteristics using the operational data of an engine of refuse collection vehicle. Data acquisition was done by reading information from the CAN network using FMS standard (Fleet Management System), which is widely used in heavy duty vehicles since year 2002. The paper presents the analysis of the expected measurement uncertainties resulting from the standard PN_ISO 15550-2009. The experimental data were filtered due to the established constraints that define the static states of the engine. On the basis of the obtained measurement data, corresponding to various defined static states, the general characteristics of the engine were made and discussed.
