Scania Worst Case

The document discusses the concept of a "worst case" vehicle for noise testing. It defines worst case as the vehicle configuration within a family type that reflects the highest noise level. A single test vehicle is selected that has the lowest mass, shortest length, and most powerful engine to represent the family type. Testing this worst case vehicle ensures all other vehicles in the family type meet noise limits. The document provides technical details on factors that influence noise and outlines the procedure for selecting the worst case test vehicle.

NOISE TEST

TEST VEHICLE SELECTION BASED ON


“WORST CASE”
“WORST CASE”
Regulation UN/ECE R51 and 70/157/EEC

YTP / Mats Lennartsson / 2006-01-11


“WORST CASE”

 The technical basis for definition of worst case:


 The noise level generated during a pass-by test
according to the international regulation
UN/ECE R51 and 70/157/EEC is related to the
acceleration of the vehicle. A fast acceleration
increases the noise level. It increases
combustion noise and the mechanical noise
from engine and transmission.

“WORST CASE”

 The concept:
 The worst case is defined as the vehicle configuration
within a group of vehicles, with similar construction
parameters, that reflects the highest noise level of the
group. A noise reduction system which is optimised to
meet the limits for the worst case will guarantee that all
vehicles within the group fulfil the noise limits. The
construction parameters that define the group of similar
vehicles constitute the “Family Type”.

“WORST CASE”

 One single test vehicle, representative of the


family type in question, shall be selected. That
constitutes the vehicle with the lowest mass in
running order and with the shortest length.
Vehicles with the same type of engine and/or
different overall gear ratios may be regarded as
the vehicle of the same type.

“WORST CASE”

 Different engine types belongs to the same


family type if the only substantial difference is
the rated maximum power. Noise tests are
performed with the most powerful engine in
each family.

“WORST CASE”

 The tyres used for the test are selected by the vehicle
manufacturer and shall comply with commercial practice and be
available on the market; they shall correspond to one of the tyre-
size designations[1] indicated for the vehicle by the vehicle
manufacturer, the minimum tread depth specified is at least 1,6
mm. The tyres must be inflated to the appropriate pressure(s) for
the test mass of the vehicle.
 Note: Technical requirements on tyre/road noise emissions are
applicable according to directive 92/23/EEC with latest amendment
2005/11/EC. The requirements shall be fulfilled by the tyre
manufacturer.

[1] See item 2.17. of Annex II to Council Directive 92/23/EEC

“WORST CASE”

 The vehicle must be in running order[1]


(including coolant, oils, fuel, tools, spare wheel
and driver).

[1] As defined in item 2.6 of Annex I to Directive
70/156/EEC

“WORST CASE”

 TECHNICAL BACKGROUND:

 lowest mass, shortest length and the most


powerful engine – gives the fastest
acceleration.
 the shortest cab – gives less mass and less
noise cover over the engine.

Marketing Communication / Dept. Name Surname / 9 / 2005-10-27


“WORST CASE”
 4x2 covers 6x4 – the addition of one extra driven rear
axle can be accepted based on
 the weight of the vehicle has increased and the
acceleration during the pass-by test will be slower i.e. a
lower noise level will be generated,
 the noise sources of the vehicle – engine, gearbox,
exhaust system and the two driven rear axles – is well
spread out over the whole vehicle length whereby the
addition of an noise source – the extra driven rear axle –
will have a neglectable influence to the overall noise
level from the vehicle

Marketing Communication / Dept. Name Surname / 10 / 2005-10-27


“WORST CASE”

 4x2 covers 8x4 – the addition of one extra non


driven front axle (when compared to the 6x4
concept) does not generate any additional
transmission noise. AWD vehicles e.g. 4x4 and
6x6, constitutes one separate family as it
causes additional transmission noise.

Basic Definitions

 Type of vehicle - means vehicles which do not differ


essentially as regards the following parts:
 the shape or materials of the bodywork (particularly the
engine compartment and its soundproofing);
 the type of engine;
 the transmission system, the gear ratio in which the test
is performed and the relevant overall ratio(s);
 the number, type and arrangement of the exhaust
systems;
 the number, type and arrangement of the intake systems.

Marketing Communication / Dept. Name Surname / 12 / 2005-10-27


Basic Definitions

 Vehicles in categories M2, M3, N2 and N3 (i.e.


“Commercial vehicles”)
 having the same type of engine and/or different
overall gear ratios, may be regarded as vehicles
of the same type. However, if the above
differences provide for a different test method,
these differences are to be considered as a
change of type.

Marketing Communication / Dept. Name Surname / 13 / 2005-10-27


Basic Definitions
 Type of engine - The main parameters for
defining engine type are:
 positive or compression ignition (two- or four-
stroke, reciprocating or rotary piston),
 number and capacity of cylinders,
 number and type of injection systems,
 arrangement of valves,
 rated maximum power and corresponding
engine speed(s).

Marketing Communication / Dept. Name Surname / 14 / 2005-10-27


Basic Definitions
 Different types of exhaust or intake system - means systems
characterized by fundamental differences, such as the
following:
 systems in which the components be a different trade marks
or trade names;
 systems in which the characteristics of the materials of a
component differ, or in which the components are of different
shape or size; a change in the plating procedure
(galvanization, aluminium coating, etc.) is not deemed to
produce a difference of type;
 systems in which the operating principles of at least one
component differ;
 systems in which the components are combined differently.

Marketing Communication / Dept. Name Surname / 15 / 2005-10-27


“WORST CASE”
 A vehicle representative of the type (“test
vehicle”)
 - must be submitted to the technical service
responsible for the tests by the vehicle
manufacturer. In the case of “Commercial
Vehicles” the single vehicle, representative of
the type in question, will be selected by the
technical service as that with the lowest mass
in running order with the shortest length.

“WORST CASE”
 Scania suggestion:
 The principles of the “worst case” and family
type similar to the international regulations
70/157/EEC and UN/ECE R51 should form the
basis for noise approvals. It should also be
noted that ongoing work within ECE involves
proposals to improve the procedure to better
reflect the noise emission of the vehicle in
urban areas.
