New Federal and California Regulations present some new challenges for emission testing as low emission variability and different test cell environments through SFTP. One approach to achieve these challenges could be replacing the human driver by a robot driving system. To make a great step forward in the improvement of such robot systems, the German automotive technology research association (FAT) initialized an investigation program in cooperation with three different suppliers. The work was done and reported by the Department of Internal Combustion Engines at the Darmstadt University of Technology. This report summarizes the comparison of the driving style of the human driver to three automatic driving systems from those major manufacturers and some basic optimization work.
