EVALUATION OF THE RESULTS. For all microphone positions two measurements are taken. In order to compensate for inaccuracies of the measuring equipment, the metre reading is reduced by 1 dB(A), and the reduced value is taken as the result of measurement. The results are taken as valid if the difference between the measurements at one microphone position does not exceed 2 dB(A). The highest value measured is taken as the result. If this value exceeds the noise limit by 1 dB(A), two additional measurements are to be taken at the corresponding microphone position. In this case, three out of the four results of measurement obtained at this position have to comply with the noise limit.
EVALUATION OF THE RESULTS. 4.1. If the sound level of the vehicle tested pursuant to paragraphs 1 and 2 does not exceed by more than 1 dB(A) the limit value prescribed in paragraph 6.2.2. of this Regulation, for measurement according to paragraph 2.1. above, and in paragraph 3 of annex 6 to this Regulation, for measurement according to paragraph 2.2. above, the vehicle type shall be considered to conform to the requirements of this Regulation.
EVALUATION OF THE RESULTS. 4.1. If the sound levels of the exhaust system or component tested pursuant to paragraphs 1 and 2, measured in accordance with paragraph 6.2. above, do not exceed by more than 1 dB(A) the level measured during the type-approval tests of this type of exhaust system or component, the exhaust system or component type shall be considered to conform to the requirements of this Regulation.
EVALUATION OF THE RESULTS. The competitors must be physically present on March 13th – 15th, 2018 in Paris at the FED4FIRE+ Engineering Conference (FEC3) in order to be eligible for the prizes. More detailed information about the conference will be published later on the SoftFIRE website. Each team should prepare a demo to be presented at the event illustrating the strong points of the proposal in terms of the previous discussed evaluation criteria. Software modules, Network Services, virtual machine, in the form of software components, datasets, pseudocode have to be uploaded into a challenge Github repository immediately after the challenge as a proof of work. An international jury will evaluate the demos considering their execution at the event by applying the mentioned criteria and will determine the winners for the three streams. During the event, the jury will declare the winners for each stream.
