Resumen
The constant deterioration of the environment has become an issue of vital importance for
society, which has made it necessary to address this problem to avoid reaching a point of no
return in the conditions in which the world finds itself. Automotive emissions are one of the
main causes of this situation, as there are large numbers of vehicles circulating in cities.
There are some types of driving cycles that large automotive companies take for the
homologation process of their vehicles, where the amount of emissions produced is regulated
and it is verified whether or not it is possible to go on the market. In the same way, in the
country to carry out the registration process, certain limits of the emissions that the vehicles
produce must be met. These procedures are essential to control the effect that the automotive
field has on the environmental situation.
However, these procedures do not obtain accurate values since it is carried out in laboratories
where the conditions of real driving do not exist. There are tests in which the real emissions
are obtained through devices that are installed in the vehicle, when traveling a route that
must meet certain conditions, such as speed, time and distance, necessary to have values that
allow an analysis.
The purpose of this project is to find a route that meets the real emission conditions,
established by the Euro 6 standard, for the city of Quito through the data acquired in two
light vehicles while driving. Due to the limited accessibility of a portable device to measure
emissions, the estimation of the gases emitted is carried out, through the processing of the
data obtained from the vehicle through an Arduino device compatible with the OBD2
system, when traveling the route presented to generate a comparison between the used
vehicles.
