Division 5.1.1.1 The road load force for an individual vehicle shall be calculated using the following equation:F1
where:
is the calculated road load force as a function of vehicle velocity, N;
is the constant road load coefficient, N, defined by the equation:
is the constant road load coefficient of the representative vehicle of the road load matrix family, N;
is the first order road load coefficient, N/(km/h), and shall be set to zero;
is the second order road load coefficient, N/(km/h)2, defined by the equation:
is the second order road load coefficient of the representative vehicle of the road load matrix family, N/(km/h)2;
is the vehicle speed, km/h;
is the actual test mass of the individual vehicle of the road load matrix family, kg;
is the test mass of the representative vehicle of the road load matrix family, kg;
is the frontal area of the individual vehicle of the road load matrix family, m2,
is the frontal area of the representative vehicle of the road load matrix family, m2;
is the tyre rolling resistance of the individual vehicle of the road load matrix family, kg/tonne;
is the tyre rolling resistance of the representative vehicle of the road load matrix family, kg/tonne.
For the tyres fitted to an individual vehicle, the value of the rolling resistance RR shall be set to the class value of the applicable tyre energy efficiency class in accordance with Table A4/2.
If the tyres on the front and rear axles belong to different energy efficiency classes, the weighted mean shall be used, calculated using the equation in paragraph 3.2.3.2.2.2. of Sub-Annex 7.
If the same tyres were fitted to test vehicles L and H, the value of RRind when using the interpolation method shall be set to RRH.
