Advances in technology equip tra c domain with instruments to gather and analyze data for safe and fuele cient traveling. This article elaborates on the e↵ects from taxi drivers route selection on fuel e ciency. We fuse real driving behavior data from taxi cabs, weather, and digital map information for fuel consumption prediction. That way we compare actually driven trips and their quickest and...

To determine the amount of air pollutants, produced by Iranian automakers, and compare it with old and retrofitted vehicles have become one of the important tools of urban management. The present research uses International Vehicle Emission (IVE) modeling software in order to verify SAIPA Co. fleet emissions, based on Euro 4 emission standard (SAIPA Co. recognized as a superior Iranian brand in...

The driving behavior, road, and traffic conditions greatly affect the gasoline consumption of an automobile. We believe that accurate prediction of gasoline usage as a function of the above can be used to obtain optimal driving behavior, for given road and traffic conditions, to reduce gasoline consumption. This results in great dollar savings and also reduces the harmful effects of gasoline us...

Three combined power and refrigeration system are introduced to compare and analyze for a defined demand and same fuel consumption based on thermodynamic parameters in a 24 hours period. Gas turbine and/or steam turbine are used for power generation and also ejector refrigeration cycle is used to produce cooling. These three systems are named as GER, SER and GSER. The results of three systems a...

This paper proposes a framework to perform design optimization of a series PHEV and investigates the impact of using real-world driving inputs on final design. Real-World driving is characterized from a database of naturalistic driving generated in Field Operational Tests. The procedure utilizes Markov chains to generate synthetic drive cycles representative of real-world driving. Subsequently,...

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...

The hybrid electric vehicle is equipped with an internal combustion engine and motor as the driving source, which can solve problems of short range slow charging vehicle. Making effective energy management control strategy reasonably distribute output power motor, improve efficiency, reduce battery damage. To consumption excessive discharge at same time, a multi-objective based on particle swar...

The quick growth of vehicles is due to fast urbanization in mega cities during last decades. This phenomenon has serious impacts on air quality, as emission from mobile vehicles is the major source of air pollution. As a result, any attempt to reduce the emitted air pollutants is needed. This study aims at improving the fuel quality in transporting system with particular emphasis on taxis in Te...

Reviewing past and current mobility assessments for the Lebanese road transport sector, road mobility demand has experienced a real explosion since 1990, and the trend is strongly upward over the decade to come. This growth is mainly attributed to the raise of daily passenger trips and the increase of car ownership. Moreover, this increase in mobility demand results in severe congestion, mostly...
