Abstract
Background and purpose:
Estimating the production of air pollution from mobile and stationary sources is one of the main pillars of air quality management, and considering the performance of cars in different conditions, calculating the number of emissions of pollutants from mobile sources is one of the challenges of compiling the emission list. The international vehicle emission modeling software (IVE) is used in the studies of compiling the country's air pollution emission list.
materials and methods:
In this research, in order to investigate the deviation of the model values from the reality, a comparison between the IVE model and the emission measurement of domestic passenger cars at 0 km in the ISQI laboratory dynamometer chassis test based on the Euro 4 emission standard and the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) has been carried out.
Results and discussion:
Comparison of domestic car dynamometer chassis test emission data for three important gases, NOx, CO, HC, with emission results modeled by IVE model showed different values, except for one case in NOx emission, where the model was equal to the Quick car, so that NOX emission It was in the range of 0.01 to 0.05, and the model showed the number of 0.03, and in the case of CO, it was in the range of 0.26 to 0.96, which the model showed the number of 0.48, and also HC is in the range of 0.03 to 0.08, which the model results are equal to 0.03

Conclusion:
Based on the comparison of the results, although the IVE model is somewhat close to the reality, but relying on the hypothetical conditions to estimate the amount of passenger car pollutants is unreliable, and the results of the model cannot be considered a correct estimate of the emissions, but by applying appropriate correction coefficients for each The car is usable.
