In this paper, we developed truck fuel consumption models for the particular assistance of professionals in charge road project valuation terms predicting used by trucks, which is an important topic on vehicle operating costs to be considered benefit–cost analysis projects. On other hand, has a direct impact emissions atmosphere, and thus future research can conducted regarding estimations abou...

Data associated with over 9000 accidents involving large trucks and combination vehicles during a two-year period on freeways in the greater Los Angeles area are analyzed relative to collision factors, accident severity, and incident duration and lane closures. Relationships between type of collision and accident characteristics are explored using log-linear models. The results point to signifi...

To meet Euro VI emission targets for heavy-duty applications, truck manufacturers concentrate on Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and its combination with urea-based Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). TNO developed a concept that opens the route for an alternative solution which relies on SCR as the main technology for NOx abatement. This concept offers potential fuel benefits in combination w...

Carriers are under increasing pressure to offset rising fuel charges with cost cutting or revenue generating schemes. One opportunity for cost reduction lies in asset management. This paper shows how a machine scheduling approach can be used to assign truck loads to delivery times and trucks. We present several models to find optimal assignments when delivery times are flexible. The models have...

In this research, Ride quality of a three-axle truck is investigated to understand its vibration specifications and influence of it on special load. The truck is Benz 2624, and the load is rather sensitive to vibrations. The system is considered for an off-road duty. Hence, the vehicle is modeled as a nineteen-degree of freedom system and its equations of motion are derived by employing Lagrang...

Substantial advances in European road vehicle emissions have been achieved over the past three decades driven by strengthening revisions legislation and enabled fuel, engine control technologies. As both technology Europe continue to evolve, Concawe has conducted a study examine effects that fuels can on emissions, this case from commercial vehicles. A bus certified Euro VI level delivery truck...
