Abstract:
Fuel consumption is one of the factors that are considered when deciding a vehicle’s optimal specification. In order to swiftly estimate the fuel consumed during real world driving scenarios, a simulation tool has been developed that is well suited for vehicle configuration exploration applications. The simulation method described in this paper differs from the static calculation method currently in use at Scania cv since the dynamic translation of the vehicle is considered, yet the simulation time is kept low. By adopting a more dynamic approach, the estimation accuracy is increased and simulati

Abstract:
The continuously variable transmission (CVT), which has been in use in some of the vehicles in the market today, presents the possibility of decoupling the engine speed and the vehicle speed. By this way, it is now possible to operate the engine at its maximum efficient or performance point and fix it at that operating point without losing from the vehicle speed. Instead of using gears, which are the main transmission elements of conventional transmission, CVT uses two pulleys and a belt. By changing the pulley diameters, a continuously variable transmission ratio is obtained. Besides all its

Every year the automotive industry strives to increase fuel efficiency in vehicles. When most vehicles are designed, fuel efficiency cannot always come first. The Shell Eco-marathon changes that by challenging students everywhere to develop the most fuel-efficient vehicle possible. There are many different factors that affect fuel efficiency, and different teams focus on different vehicle parameters. Currently, there is no straightforward design tool that can be used to help in Shell Eco-marathon vehicle design. For this reason, it is difficult to optimize every vehicle parameter for maximum f

This valve drive allows an engine to achieve variable valve timing which has been shown to produce improvements in engine fuel efficiency. To test this improvement, a reference engine model with fixed valve timing was obtained from the engine simulation software package WAVE® by Ricardo. A model of

Abstract:
The demand for road freight transport continues to grow with the growing economy, resulting in increased fossil fuel consumption and emissions. At the same time, the fossil fuel use needs to decrease substantially to counteract the ongoing global warming. One way to reduce fuel consumption is to utilize emerging intelligent transport system (ITS) technologies and introduce heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) platooning, i.e. HDVs driving with small inter-vehicle gaps enabled by the use of sensors and controllers. It is of importance for transport authorities and industries to investigate the effects of i

Abstract:
With upcoming stricter emission legislations and increasing fuel prices reducing fuel consumption, i.e. CO2 emissions, are one of the driving forces behind development in the automobile industry. One solution to reduce fuel consumption is hybridization, giving the vehicle overall higher engine efficiency. In this thesis it has been investigated if it is possible to reduce fuel consumption via hybridization with maintained performance for different hybrid topologies and degree of hybridization. This is investigated by developing models in Matlab/Simulink which are used in the AVL rapid prototyp

Abstract:
The environmental impact of a transportation system is critical in the assessment of the transportation system performance. Eco-Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (Eco-CACC) systems attempt to minimize vehicle fuel consumption and emission levels by controlling vehicle speed and acceleration levels. The majority of previous research efforts developed and applied Eco-CACC systems on either freeway or signalized intersections independently on simple and small transportation networks without consideration of the interaction among these controls.

This thesis discusses enhancements to the Global Demand Model (GDM). The model addresses the need to predict: a) number of flights Worldwide by Origin-Destination (OD) airport pair, b) the number of seats (surrogate of demand) by OD airport pair, c) the fleet evolution over time, d) fuel consumption by OD pair and aircraft type, and emissions by OD pair and aircraft type. The model has developed an airline fleet assignment module to predict changes to the airline fleet in the future. Specifically, the model has the capability to examine the fuel and emission benefits of next generation N+1 air
