Abstract Heavy-duty trucks (HDTs) play a significant role in the freight transportation sector in the U.S. However, they consume a vast amount of fuel and are a significant source of both greenhouse gas and criteria pollutant emissions. In order to properly design strategies to reduce energy and environmental impacts of HDTs, accurate data of their fuel consumption and emissions are required, preferably in real-time. One of the important sources of these data is the on-board electronic control units (ECUs) that can provide hundreds of vehicle and engine operating parameters. This report investigates how data items from ECUs, such as engine speed, engine load, and fuel flow rate, might be collected and what value these data items might have in studying the environmental issues associated with highway transportation and in the development of advanced applications, such as real-time emission modeling and reporting system, to manage these issues.
