Abstract: To explore the influence of RPA (Relative Positive Acceleration) factor on emission characteristics of PFI (Port Fuel Injection ) gasoline vehicles in the RDE (Real Driving Emission) test, RDE emission tests are carried out on an electronically controlled inlet multi-point injection gasoline vehicle using the AVL-M.O.V.E. PEMS(Portable Emission Measurement System)under gentle, normal and intense driving behaviors in Xining high-altitude region respectively, and the gasoline engine is not modified during the tests. The results show that the driving behaviors of different RPA values which are within a large range according to the national standard directly affect the results of the RDE emission test. The cold starting stage of RDE test has great influence on PN and CO emission, with greater influence on PN than on gas pollutants. The variation of CO and PN emission with RPA value is not obvious; however, NOx and CO2 emissions are positively correlated with RPA values. CF (NOx)>CF (CO)>CF(PN), and the change amplitude of CF (NOx) is significantly increased with the increase of RPA value, thus NOx emission should be paid attention to during RDE test under the plateau condition. The RPA affects the distribution of CO2 emission on the characteristic curve. The larger the RPA value, the closer distribution of CO2 emission on the characteristics curve to the upper tolerance
