Abstrakt

The article presents the particulate matter measurement analysis of a passenger vehicle equipped with diesel particulate filter in real operating conditions. The tests were conducted in the Poznań urban agglomeration on routes with variable speed limits. The procedure included two different driving styles – aggressive and normal. The measurement of particulate matter included their mass, surface area, number and spectral distribution and was performed using a TSI mass spectrometer and an AVL micro soot sensor. The results allowed for determining the impact of the driving style on the particulate matter emissions and allowed for comparison of the outcome relative to the current regulations.
