This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles evaluates various technologies and methods that could improve the fuel economy of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, transit buses, and work trucks. The book also recommends approaches that federal agencies could use to regulate these vehicles' fuel consumption. Currently there are no fuel consumption standards for such vehicles, which account for about 26 percent of the transportation fuel used in the U.S. The miles-per-gallon measure used to regulate the fuel economy of passenger cars. is not appropriate for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, which are designed above all to carry loads efficiently. Instead, any regulation of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles should use a metric that reflects the efficiency with which a vehicle moves goods or passengers, such as gallons per ton-mile, a unit that reflects the amount of fuel a vehicle would use to carry a ton of goods one mile. This is called load-specific fuel consumption (LSFC). The book estimates the improvements that various technologies could achieve over the next decade in seven vehicle types. For example, using advanced diesel engines in tractor-trailers could lower their fuel consumption by up to 20 percent by 2020, and improved aerodynamics could yield an 11 percent reduction. Hybrid powertrains could lower the fuel consumption of vehicles that stop frequently, such as garbage trucks and transit buses, by as much 35 percent in the same time frame.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great log book for keeping track of your mileage and fuel expenses for tax purposes. Inside you will find a mileage log so that you can keep track of your mileage easily. There are 65 pages of these and each page contains 15 log entries. Also there is a fuel log so that you can keep track of how much you are spending on your fuel and you will be able to easily figure out how *many miles per gallon your truck is getting. There are also 65 pages of this log and each page contains 17 log entry spaces. *Calculated by subtracting the starting odometer reading from the new one. Then divide the miles traveled by the amount of gallons it took to refill your fuel tank. It is the perfect travel size to place it in a glove box. Makes a great gift for those truck drivers in your life. Features 6 x 9 Soft cover 65 pages; Mileage Log 65 pages; Fuel Log Matte cover

This book was released on 2004 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A variety of transportation related applications such as safety, geometric and pavement design of roadways depend on reliable estimates of heavy truck VMT. Truck VMT estimation methodologies used by state DOTs fall under two broad groups; the non-traffic count based and the traffic count based methods. The latter is the most preferred among state DOTs as it utilizes actual data of vehicle movement on a road segment. Resource constraints, however, make it impactical for the monitoring of all road sections of interest continuously throughout the year. State DOTs therefore maintain a traffic count program comprising of permanent counts where data are collected all year round and short-term counts usually collected for periods up to 48 hours. The short-term counts do not represent an average annual daily count. Conversion of the short-term count data to annual average daily estimates are achieved by applying adjustment factors developed from the permanent count data to account for temporal variations. It has been observed that trucks do not exhibit the same temporal variation patterns as passenger vehicles, however, the current practice by a majority of state DOTs involve the use of adjustment factors derived from aggregate volume data not truck volume which fail to adequately explain the temporal variations in truck traffic resulting in biased annual average daily truck traffic (AADTT) estimates. This research utilizes Automatic Traffic Recorder (ATR) data for the rural primary roadways in Iowa to compare three AADTT estimation methods; truck adjustment factor, annual truck percentge and count specific truck percentage methods. An assessment of the acuracies of the 3 methods is made using the estimates of prediction error obtained from cross-validation. Pairwise comparison fo the methods is done by using the non-parametric bootstrap statistical analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB Special Report 227 - New Trucks for Greater Productivity and Less Road Wear: An Evaluation of the Turner Proposal evaluates the approach to regulation of the size and weight of trucks using U.S. roads known as the Turner Proposal. This approach had its origin in a proposal put forth in a 1984 address to AASHTO by former Federal Highway Administrator Francis C. Turner. The approach evaluated by the committee differs in an important respect from Turner's original concept: in the committee's approach, use of the new trucks would be voluntary; that is, truck operators would be offered the choice of continuing with existing equipment and weight rules or adopting the new trucks with the new weight regulations. The committee designed a package of changes in size and weight limits, safety restrictions, and procedures regarding bridge deficiencies, routing, and enforcement that would be a practical regulatory scheme for implementing the Turner concept. The committee recommends that every state, with careful assessment of the risks and uncertainties, consider this proposal as a supplement to current size and weight regulations. If Turner trucks were adopted in all states according to the recommended rules, they would reduce the cost of shipping freight and would not degrade safety. The total cost of maintaining the road system would be reduced, although pavement wear savings would be partially offset by higher bridge costs. The committee that carried out this study identified two truck configurations outside the weight and length limits established by federal law that would offer greater productivity without increasing infrastructure or safety costs. These vehicles formed the basis for the configurations recommended in a later (2002) TRB report, Special Report 267: Regulation of Weights, lengths, and Widths of Commercial Motor Vehicles.
