Climate change is a major issue all around the world. The transportation industry currently accounts for most CO2 emissions. goal of this research to develop real-world eco-driving cycle internal combustion engine motorcycles that can reduce fuel consumption and This study developed onboard measuring equipment measure speed profile motorcycle driving in real time. A total 78 riders rode test wi...

To meet increasingly strict emission legislation and stronger demands on fuel consumption, typical passenger car diesel engines become increasingly complex with more and more controllable systems added. These added systems open up for the possibility to operate the engine at more efficient conditions, but it also becomes more challenging to optimize the settings in the engine management system....

This report examines the possible safety benefits from driving in a manner that results in lower fuel consumption and emissions. It attempts to assess the potential of promoting additional motivations to drive safely – better fuel economy and other environmental outcomes, and reduced running costs. Reducing speeding, lower speed limits and modifying driving style were found to improve fuel econ...

The environment has recently led to very severe regulations on fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. I propose a scheme to minimize rate of fuel consumption for a direct fuel injection engine used by combination with a continuously variable transmission. Target values for the engine and the transmission which minimizes fuel consumption ensuring driving performance is calculated based on the n...

A detailed assessment of an incinerator based on fuel consumption and cycle time data is presented in this paper. The study was conducted at Temeke district hospital for 22 months consecutively covering 654 days of daily data collection on waste loading rate fuel consumption and cycle times. The composition for the medical waste incinerated varied between 15% and 35% for sharps waste and betwee...

Emerging green-energy transportation, such as hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in HEVs (PHEVs), has a great potential for reduction of fuel consumption and greenhouse emissions. The lithium-ion battery system used in these vehicles, however, is bulky, expensive and unreliable, and has been the primary roadblock for transportation electrification. Meanwhile, few studies have considered u...

A method is developed for the minimization of time and fuel required for performing a short loading cycle with a CVT wheel loader. A factor β is used for weighing time to fuel in the optimization. Dynamic programming is used as optimization algorithm, and the developed method is based on the change of independent variable, from time to distance driven. It is shown that a change of states from s...

The transport sector in Greece has the largest share in the final energy consumption and the resulting emissions are one of the main sources of atmospheric pollution. This situation is worse in the region of Attica, where nearly half of the country’s private cars circulate in an area equal to 3 % of the total country area; the region’s climatic and geomorphological characteristics further aggra...
