Solid waste collection, transfer and transportation (SWCTT) is a fundamental component of solid waste management systems that contributes to both the costs and environmental emissions associated with managing solid waste. The objective of this study is to project the fuel consumption and fuel costs of SWCTT in Tehran from 2018 to 2032. A further objective is to evaluate the air pollutant emissi...

Among the aspects that require a major interest in the field of traffic modeling is the simulation of the fuel consumption and engine emissions. In this paper, we study the fuel consumption and gas emissions caused by traffic in the Nagel and Schreckenberg (NaSch) model, and some of its variants, with closed boundary conditions. The behavior of the consumption and the emissions in different mod...

In this paper we attempt to understand how policy interventions could improve the fuel economy of drivers without changing the vehicles they drive or the trips they take. To do this, we use high-resolution driving data to document the large variation in actual on-road fuel economy achieved by drivers of identical vehicles. We analyze this variation using a model that links driver behavior to ve...

Chip size distribution is an important quality variable not only for buyers of forest fuels, but also for chipping contractors as it influences both fuel consumption and productivity of chippers. Studies of disc chippers and of drum chippers with closed drums have shown that increased chip target length increases chipper productivity and decreases fuel consumption per ton of chips produced. For...

the primary objective of this work is to introduce a gear ratio selection strategy for a cvt equipped vehicle and show its effectiveness on the fuel consumption reduction. afuzzy control algorithm is designed for this purpose. anonlinear model is developed for simulating the longitudinal vehicle dynamics with accelerator pedal applied by the driver as an input. in order that pedal input values ...

Greenhouse gas emitted by the transport sector around the world is a serious issue of concern. To minimize such emission the automobile engineers have been working relentlessly. Researchers have been trying hard to switch fossil fuel to alternative fuels and attempting to various driving strategies to make traffic flow smooth and to reduce traffic congestion and emission of greenhouse gas. Auto...

While the wealth effect from a capital influx would induce households to buy more dirty fuel, they might simultaneously reduce their purchases depending on the degree of substitutability with clean fuels and other consumption. This substitution effect will not necessarily dominate the wealth effect, unless dirty fuels are an inferior good. However, a capital increase could also cause labor to b...
