Abstract:

Abstract The dynamic stability of heavy trucks, as spinout, jackknifing, and rollover, is highly dependent on vehicle configuration, driving maneuver, and the force and moment characteristics of tires. Increasing safety requirements on the handling performance of heavy trucks demand tools that allow a tire design engineer to predict tire influences on the tire/vehicle system dynamic behavior. The computer simulation of handling performance of vehicles offers possibilities of evaluating influences of tire design changes on handling properties in any developing stage of new tire lines. Thus, mod

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Many countries are implementing regulatory programs to promote the use of transportation technologies that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance fuel economy of vehicles. These regulatory programs create a need for more durable and fuel-efficient tires. The increased cost of fuel for motor vehicles creates another driving force for improving the fuel economy of vehicles. Commercial vehicle operators recognize that fuel cost is a major driver of the total operating cost; therefore, they increasingly demand tires that are optimized for reducing the fuel cost of a trucking flee

Mitigating CO2 emissions from long-haul commercial trucking is a major challenge that must be addressed to achieve substantial reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the transportation sector. Extensive recent research and development programs have shown how significant near-term reductions in GHGs from commercial vehicles can be achieved by combining technological advances. This paper reviews progress in technology for engine efficiency improvements, vehicle resistance and drag reductions, and the introduction of hybrid electric powertrains in long-haul trucks.

As the weight and complexity of the payload that needs to be launched into orbit increases, the relevance of rational trajectory selection to ensure maximum efficiency and minimum costs for delivering the payload to a given orbit increases. Rational choice of the trajectory of a heavy-class launch vehicle has a number of important practical applications. Firstly, it allows you to increase the payload capacity of the launch vehicle and reduce the cost of delivering payload to the target orbit.

In 2023, Oregon’s heavy-duty trucks consumed 450 million gallons of diesel, with drop-in fuels making up 15% of the fuel mix. Renewable diesel, which is growing at a rate of 30% annually, accounted for 10% of this volume, thanks to in

Abstract:

Pose estimation of heavy construction equipment is the key technology for real-time safety monitoring in road construction sites where heavy equipment and workers on foot collaborate in proximity. Ultra-wideband (UWB) radios hold great promise among various sensing technologies for providing accurate object localization in indoor and outdoor environments. However, in a road construction environment with heavy vehicles and equipment, the performance of UWB radios drastically declines because of blockages in the transmission signal between the transmitter and receiver causing Non-Line of Sight (

Abstract Mobility is vital for the well-being and quality of life of older adults. Emerging technologies, such as connected and automated vehicles (CAVs), hold promise for extending safe and independent mobility for older adults, however, challenges remain in ensuring that CAVs are accessible, acceptable, affordable, and otherwise inclusive for older adults. While personal vehicles with Level 2 automation are available, the public’s exposure to more advanced levels of automation remains limited. The first phase of this research examined benefits and barriers to using CAVs using a two-phase qua

Abstract:

Formaldehyde (HCHO), a carcinogenic carbonyl compound and precursor of tropospheric ozone, can be found in vehicle exhaust. Even though the continuous monitoring of HCHO has been recommended, the real-world emissions from the road transport sector are not commonly available. The main reason for this knowledge gap has been the difficulty to measure HCHO in real-time and during real-world testing. This, for instance, increases the uncertainty of the O3 simulated by air quality models. The present study investigates real-time HCHO measurements comparing three Fourier Transform InfraRed spectromet

Abstract:

The safety culture and safety climate of transport companies have a significant impact on fleet safety outcomes. Ample research shows that transport companies with a strong safety culture also show lower crash statistics. In spite of modern technologies that help with having a safer fleet, it is difficult to achieve a safer fleet without a proactive safety culture and climate. In Ethiopia, it is assumed that most transport companies have failed to create a distinguishable safety climate in their fleet safety administration and that their heavy vehicle drivers have a poor safety culture.

Abstract:

Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells are a suitable electrochemical power source for heavy duty vehicle (HDV) applications due to their high performance, efficiency, and durability. The cathode of the fuel cell uses a higher geometric loading of platinum (~0.2 to 0.4 mgPt/cm2) for the electrocatalysis of the kinetically sluggish Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR), which requires higher weight percent loading of the metal (~50%) on the carbon support to decrease the catalyst layer thickness and hence, the reactant transport losses. Conventional supports for platinum catalysts, such as the Ket
