The displacement of non-renewable fossil fuels by renewable energy resources has occurred at a low rate in the USA. But a large number of drivers is expected to cause significant expansion of the US renewable energy industry in the near future. Included among the extrinsic drivers, or those that are not directly related to renewable energy resources, are reductions in natural gas and crude oil ...

in this paper, vehicle’s fuel consumption and exhaust emissions are investigated in different driving conditions based on driving segments clustering. driving data collection is performed using global positioning systems in real traffic conditions. the driving data is clustered into five groups using k-means clustering technique. vehicle’s fuel consumption and exhaust emissions (i.e. hc, nox a...

This Paper proposed the estimation method of fuel consumption from vehicle information through OBD-II. We assumed RPM, TPS had a relationship with fuel consumption. We got the output as fuel-consumption from a vehicle RPM, TPS as input by using polynomial equations. We had modeling as quadric function and surface function with OBD-II data and fuel consumption data supported by automotive compan...

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 ...

Objective(s): In this study a series of novel colchicine-like β-acetamidoketones was designed and synthesized as potential tubulin inhibitorsMaterials and Methods: The cytotoxicity of the novel synthesized β-acetamidoketones was assessed against two cancerous cell lines including MCF-7 (human breast cancer cells) and A549 (adenocarcinomi...

This paper explores the possibility of using recorded road slope data in order to reduce fuel consumption for off-road construction vehicles such as articulated haulers. Road gradients have strong influence on the fuel consumption of a vehicle. This effect is even more significant on construction vehicles due to their large mass and heavy load. In this study, a control algorithm based on model ...

This paper builds a model for estimating the fuel consumption of a taxiing aircraft using flight data recorder information from operational aircraft. The taxi fuel burn is modeled as a linear function of several potential explanatory variables including the taxi time, number of stops, number of turns and number of acceleration events, and the coefficients are estimated using least-squares regre...

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>Means of transportation is one the needs to make movement from place another. One commonly used motorized vehicles that run on gasoline. Fuel consumption affects power generated as well costs incurred and time required by carry out their functions. This research method uses true experimental design conduct performance tests using ...
