List of parameters and data sources
Uploaded to Circa on 31 July 2012
1. Completeness of parameters
2. Decision on parameter values

12. Work plan – Boundary conditions
Completeness of parameters and list of reference information
Limited feedback
Agreement on layout and parameter selection

13. Work plan – Boundary conditions
2. Decision on parameter values
Earlier feedback (May and June 2012)
Additional recent feedback
Feedback should be substantiated by research and rationale
Principle approach for selecting values and value ranges

14. Work plan – Boundary conditions
Possible ways forward
Ambient conditions: Regulation 582/2011 as basis
Random cycle development: WLTP short trips
Challenging parameters, e.g., road grade
No regulation
Selection based on expert judgment within RDE-LDV
Selection based on the analysis of a sample of GIS data
Comprehensive analysis of European road grad distribution
