Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Highways is updating its capability for estimating road user benefits so that these benefits can be better taken into account in rural and urban road investment appraisals. The Ministry has selected the software package ARFCOM (Australian Road Fuel Consumption Model) for estimating the fuel consumption component of road user costs. ARFCOM can be used for estimating fuel consumption of all vehicles and ten default vehicles are included in the program. These default vehicles need to be modified to apply to the vehicle fleet in British Columbia (B.C.). This report describes the vehicle CLes for B.C., the method used to derive vehicle parameters and how these vehicles can be used within ARFCOM. A description of the method used to include the effects of weather conditions on fuel consumption is included in the appendice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributions by Surhid Gautam and Lit-Mian Chan. This book presents a state-of-the art review of vehicle emission standards and regulations and provides a synthesis of worldwide experience with vehicle emission control technologies and their applications in both industrial and developing countries. Topics covered include: * The two principal international systems of vehicle emission standards: those of North America and Europe * Test procedures used to verify compliance with emissions standards and to estimate actual emissions * Engine and aftertreatment technologies that have been developed to enable new vehicles to comply with emission standards, as well as the cost and other impacts of these technologies * An evaluation of measures for controlling emissions from in-use vehicles * The role of fuels in reducing vehicle emissions, the benefits that could be gained by reformulating conventional gasoline and diesel fuels, the potential benefits of alternative cleaner fuels, and the prospects for using hydrogen and electric power to run motor vehicles with ultra-low or zero emissions. This book is the first in a series of publications on vehicle-related pollution and control measures prepared by the World Bank in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme to underpin the Bank's overall objective of promoting transport that is environmentally sustainable and least damaging to human health and welfare.

Download or read book Passenger Car Fleet Fuel Consumption Estimation Program written by and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demonstration of 4 typical applications of a passenger car fleet fuel consumption estimation program. The program is used to determine the effect of various factors on the overall fuel consumption of passenger cars in Canada. The factors studied include changes in average speeds and traffic volumes on urban streets, changes in average speed on rural highways and freeways, vehicle technology improvements and a shift in the percentage of driving done in each vehicle class. Data for the 1987 Canada passenger car fleet is used and realistic estimates of on-road fuel savings are given. The effect of cold start is not included due to a lack of reliable data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL's) Fleet Test and Evaluations team recently conducted chassis dynamometer tests of a class 8 conventional regional delivery truck over the Heavy Heavy-Duty Diesel Truck (HHDDT), West Virginia University City (WVU City), and Composite International Truck Local and Commuter Cycle (CILCC) drive cycles. A quantitative study was conducted by analyzing the impacts of various factors on fuel consumption (FC) and fuel economy (FE) by modeling and simulating the truck using NREL's Future Automotive Systems Technology Simulator (FASTSim). Factors used in this study included vehicle weight, and the coefficients of rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag. The simulation results from a single parametric study revealed that FC was approximately a linear function of the weight, coefficient of aerodynamic drag, and rolling resistance over various drive cycles. Among these parameters, the truck weight had the largest effect on FC. The study of the impact of two technologies on FE suggested that, depending on the circumstances, it may be more cost effective to reduce one parameter (such as coefficient of aerodynamic drag) to increase fuel economy, or it may be more beneficial to reduce another (such as the coefficient of rolling resistance). It also provided a convenient way to estimate FE by interpolating within the parameter values and extrapolating outside of them. The simulation results indicated that the FC could be reduced from 38.70 L/100 km, 50.72 L/100 km, and 38.42 L/100 km in the baseline truck to 26.78 L/100 km, 43.14 L/100 km and 29.84 L/100 km over the HHDDT, WVU City and CILCC drive cycles, respectively, when the U.S. Department of Energy's three targeted new technologies were applied simultaneously.

Book excerpt: This series of articles charts the development of thinking about space, place, and transport. Divided into four parts, the articles cover fundamental concepts, individual behaviour in urban spatial context, inter-regional transport and policy issues. Taken together, the articles highlight the role that a geographic perspective has played in transport studies, raise questions about transport policy, and point to additional questions worthy of research.

This book was released on 2022-10-14 with total page 1280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the general acknowledgement that climate change constitutes an existential threat to both mankind and to the planet, the quest for more sustainable and environmentally-friendly ways of developing and maintaining human civilizations has become ever more important in recent years. This book presents the proceedings of GEESD2022, the 3rd International Conference on Green Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development. Due to continuing travel restrictions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference was held as a hybrid event, part face-to-face in Beijing, China, and partly online via Zoom, on 29 June 2022. The 141 papers included here were selected after a rigorous 6-month process of evaluation and peer-review from the more than 300 submissions received, and are grouped into 7 sections: energy system and smart control; sustainable and green energy; environmental modeling and simulation; environmental science and pollution research; ecology and rural environment; building and environment; and water and mineral resources. The book provides an overview of the most up-to-date findings and technologies current in green energy, environment and sustainable development today, and will be of interest to all those working in the field.
