In the past decade, fuel consumption and CO2 emission have increased in the airline industry. Large CO2 footprint has a damaging effect on the environment. Global concerns over this issue has made the airline industry to be greener. Most efforts of the green airline industry are improving the fuel consumption to reduce the CO2 emission and its environmental damage. Here, we use cruise speed con...

Background: This study aims to measure the output torque and analyze the exhaust elements of a small diesel engine that use the diesel fuel mixed with waste cooking oil to validate the driving and environmental characteristics of this fuel. Methods: The fuel used was diesel fuel mixed with 15% of waste cooking oil, a small quantity of additives and was produced with no complicated refining proc...

The competition to deliver fuel e cient and environmentally friendly vehicles is driving the automotive industry to consider ever more complex powertrain systems. Adequate performance of these new highly interactive systems can no longer be obtained through traditional approaches, which are intensive in hardware use and nal control software calibration. This paper explores the use of dynamic pr...

This paper presents a reinforcement learning (RL)–based energy management strategy for a hybrid electric tracked vehicle. A control-oriented model of the powertrain and vehicle dynamics is first established. According to the sample information of the experimental driving schedule, statistical characteristics at various velocities are determined by extracting the transition probability matrix of...

Hybrid Electrical Vehicle (HEV) fuel economy highly depends on power allocation between the different power sources — engine and fuel cell — and the energy storage system(s). A generic global optimization algorithm has been developed to minimize fuel consumption by optimizing the powertrain power flows. This algorithm was applied on a Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle, and results were generated for sev...

The development of chassis dynamometer of hybrid vehicle based on CAN bus was studied. Chassis dynamometer of hybrid vehicle measurement methods and loading devices are analyzed, and laid the foundation for the resistance simulation of chassis dynamometer. Road resistance simulation on HEV chassis dynamometer is researched, getting electric quantity simulation type of chassis dynamometer drivin...

Plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEVs) have recently emerged as a promising alternative technology to dramatically reduce fleet petroleum consumption. However, the fuel economy of many recent prototype and theoretical vehicles has varied widely and often been exaggerated in the press. PHEVs present a significant challenge as compared with conventional vehicle fuel economy reporting because th...

Now the optimization strategies for power distribution are researched widely, and most of them are aiming to the optimal fuel economy and the driving cycle must be preknown. Thus if the actual driving condition deviates from the scheduled driving cycle, the effect of optimal results will be declined greatly. Therefore, the instantaneous optimization strategy carried out on-line is studied in th...
