Abstract

The emphasis here is the identification of emission control systems through information contained in the vehicle identification number (VIN). The data base which maps each combination of carline and engine symbol into the possible engine families is described in detail. The methods used in developing this data base are summarized. The instances in which major features of the emission control system can not be determined unambiguously from the VIN are identified. Recommendations are presented for resolving the ambiguities with the assistance of auto manufacturers. The ability of the several manufacturers to assist in further decoding of VINs and is reported and the information presently available on costs of doing so is provided. Data files that will be used to extract manufacturer, carline, and engine symbols from VINs and then access the master VIN/engine family data base are listed. The master data base is listed in its entirety. The cases of ambiguous emission control identification are listed. (MHR)

Technical Report

The process of decoding VIN's (vehicle identification numbers) using a data base that maps each combination of VIN carline and engine code into the engine family (or families) which may be represented by the vehicle is described. Methods used in developing this data base also are summarized briefly. The instances in which major features of the emission control system can not be determined unambiguously from the VIN are identified. The actions taken to resolve these ambiguities with the assistance of auto manufacturers are described. The results of the manufacturer decoding and the methods employed when this assistance was not availablemore »« less
Analysis memorandum: design factor update. Task 24, Subtask 1

Technical Report

The design factor update study was conducted in two phases. Phase one established the data base and generated sensitivity coefficients at a highly disaggregated level - for each combination of manufacturer, model year, engine family, transmission type, and technology group. The coefficient distributions were analyzed for dependence on parameter values and on EPA test results (e.g., the ETW coefficient for EPA city mpg's as linear functions of ETW and/or EPA city mpg). Preliminary design factors also were generated at a series of aggregated levels. These interim results provided design factor coefficients at frequently encountered aggregations and led to revised specificationsmore »« less
Automotive manufacturing assessment system. Volume I: master product schedules. Final report Jun 77-Aug 78

Technical Report Taylor, T; Cunningham, A; Iannelli, D; ...

Volume I is part of a four volume set documenting areas of research resulting from the development of the Automotive Manufacturing Assessment System (AMAS) for the DOT/Transportation Systems Center. AMAS was designed to assist in the evaluation of industry's capability to produce fuel efficient vehicles. Through extensive research and synthesis of publicly available information, Master Product Timing Schedules were generated to portray, chronologically, current and future product changes and technological advances for each domestic auto (1975-85), light truck (1975-80) and selected import manufacturers (1975-80). The Schedules show (by make, model, and year): all new vehicle introductions, highlighting downsizing; styling changes;more »« less
