Automotive Systems for International Emissions and SafetyTesting

Distributors and OEMS - Fast Start Designs

Applus+ AutoLogic Inc. works with distributors and OEMs world wide to provide equipment for diagnostics and certified emissions, OBD II, and safety testing programs. We often provide equipment at reduced costs by licensing many of the components of the design to the customer for local purchase and manufacture. This reduces the costs greatly and allows the distributor to be much more cost effective when they otherwise could not be. It also enables the distributor or OEM to brand the equipment with their own name. We have experience in many certified inspections programs and international inspection lanes in the US and outside of the US. We can often help distributors with information needed to enter a certified program.

PC Hardware Configurations

There are many possible choices of diagnostic hardware that may be used in an OEM product or certified testing program. Attached below is an example of all the hardware designs/vendor selections that a distributor or OEM looking to enter a vehicle inspection program may use. Because we also have software drivers, DLLs, and OCXs that are compatible with the hardware listed, working with us to license the designs will greatly reduce the amount of development time necessary to get into an emissions, safety or OBD II testing program.

PC Software Configurations

Each one of these hardware pieces take advantage of Applus+ AutoLogic Inc.'s existing software designs that interface to the hardware and conduct the appropriate tests. Applus+ AutoLogic Inc.'s basic design consists of a series of modules (DLLs) that perform the actual tests and an executable program which implements the local government requirements such as printing, databases, vehicle inputs, modem communications, etc. These modules are designed with international language translation capabilities and are designed to be easily OEM branded. The OCX controls shown are the software modules that communicate from the test DLL to the hardware. The use of these code modules will significantly reduce the overall effort and time frame necessary to complete almost any mandated testing program. This design is easily expanded to add additional tests as required. These code modules (DLLs) may require modification to meet local requirements. We often license just certain modules to OEMs looking to reduce their development time when they are already producing certified equipment and simply need another new piece of hardware.The diagram on the page below demonstrates the software components that are available. Other components may be added on a custom basis.

Applus+ AutoLogic, Inc. I/M Experience

South America
Applus+ AutoLogic provides hardware and software for South America’s emissions testing programs, typically BAR90/BAR97, two-speed idle tests also involving diesel and safety equipment. AutoLogic functions as engineering and systems integrator, tackling the challenging aspects of translating software specifications into usable systems while controlling costs. Cars in South America often operate without catalytic converters which required the development of heavy-duty gas and diesel testing equipment that would survive hot, humid environments.

Europe
As systems integrator, Applus+ AutoLogic Inc. provides hardware and software for combination emissions and safety testing lanes. These lanes include gas, smoke, headlight, sound, suspension, alignment, weight, and visual inspections. The European products require comprehensive equipment analysis since a multitude of poorer quality gas analyzers and smoke meters are available. Since each country has its own unique set of regulations,Applus+ AutoLogic Inc. creates complex software and hardware solutions, most of which required certification such as the CE mark, a critical issue for the European market.

Canada
Applus+ AutoLogic Inc. functions as systems integrator for several manufacturers in Canada with products including BAR97 dynamometer controllers, RPM modules, BAR97 ASM testing software, and US-specified J1667 smoke meters. Applus+ AutoLogic Inc. creates dynamometer software modules for running loaded mode tests including driving profiles.

Far East
Partnering with one of the world’s largest emissions testing manufacturers, Applus+ AutoLogic Inc. serves as systems integrator, providing all software and various hardware modules for their emissions testing in China. This gives Applus+ AutoLogic Inc. experience implementing far eastern languages in software and also experience in helping identify a potential market for the right diagnostic equipment there.

United States
Applus+ AutoLogic Inc. was the first U.S. company to launch a PDA-based product line, beginning with Pocket PC-based diesel smoke meter (Pocket Smoke™) followed by a portable gas analyzer (Pocket Gas™) and OBDII module (Pocket OBD™).
