The calculated values for the acceleration test and the constant speed test are given by:

  • Lwot rep = Lwot (i+1) + k * (Lwot(i) – Lwot (i+1))

  • Lcrs rep = Lcrs(i+1) + k * (Lcrs (i) – Lcrs (i+1))

Where k = (awot ref – awot (i+1))/(awot (i) – awot (i+1))

In the case of a single gear ratio test, the values are the test result of each test.

The final result is calculated by combining Lwot rep and Lcrs rep. The equation is:

Lurban = Lwot rep – kP * (Lwot rep – Lcrs rep)

The weighting factor kP, gives the partial power factor for urban driving. In cases other than a single gear test kP is calculated by:

kP = 1 – (aurban/awot ref)

If only one gear was specified for the test kP is given by:

kP = 1 – (aurban/awot test)

In cases where awot test is less than aurban:

kP = 0
