INCA-RDE: evaluation of real driving emissions (RDE) test drives

Dashboard displays INCA-RDE software analysis of real driving emissions, showcasing various metrics including emission values, GPS data, and engine conditions, ideal for vehicle compliance testing.

INCA-RDE is an INCA add-on for in-vehicle real driving emissions (RDE) measurements. Using a universal interface module, it connects a portable emissions measurement system (PEMS) and the engine control unit (ECU) via CAN. This setup allows controlled, reproducible RDE driving tests, facilitating efficient tracking of real driving emissions and correlation with signals from the ECU.
