Abstract:

Light utility vehicles are becoming increasingly popular as a means of autonomous transportation for short distances. Rising fuel costs and concerns about pollution from petroleum and diesel-powered vehicles are pushing manufacturers to explore alternative energy sources. One such innovation is the development of air-powered vehicles that utilize compressed air as a clean and sustainable energy source. Engineers are focusing on harnessing pneumatic power to drive light utility vehicles, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing environmental impact. These vehicles offer a promising solu

Abstract:

A heteroscedastic ordered logit model was used to study the effects of various vehicle, environmental, roadway, and occupant characteristics on the severity of injuries sustained by vehicle occupants, conditional on the crash occurrence. As expected, the models found that heavier vehicles increased both a vehicle's crashworthiness and driver aggressiveness toward others. The models also found that if all passenger vehicles were to become 1,000 lb heavier, crash injury outcomes would not change dramatically. However, if all passenger cars were to become light-duty trucks (i.e., minivans, pickup

Abstract:

This paper describes an approach for the development of prediction models for the estimation of mileage-related vehicle depreciation that can be used in the estimation of the benefits derived from transportation network improvements. The approach takes advantage of published online data for vehicle valuations. A new asymmetric logistic prediction model for total vehicle depreciation, including initial and mileage-related depreciations, is proposed and fitted to collected valuations data. The added benefit of this prediction model is that it takes into consideration both vehicle age (i.e., year

The article is focused on design of a tyre-rail adapter to be mounted on a light road-rail vehicle. The novelty of the design consists in its possibility to change the wheelbase of the vehicle axles for different railway tracks gauges. Then, the considered light vehicle could fulfil various working tasks in a country, where more railway tracks gauges occur. The modified vehicle is a light lorry, which is intended to be used as a versatile and utility vehicle for maintenance purposes and repairing purposes.

Light-duty truck classification allows manufacturers and owners to avoid a host of passenger-car regulations, including gas-guzzler taxes, safety standards, and more stringent emissions and fuel-economy standards. The distinct policies that govern light-duty trucks and passenger cars are described; the emissions, safety, and fuel economy differences that have resulted are evaluated; and the household use differences across such vehicles are investigated. The result is that when the average new pickup truck or sport-utility vehicle is compared with a passenger car, there appears to be an implic

Abstract:

The effect of arterial traffic signal timing and coordination on vehicle emissions is studied. Traffic signal timing improvement is one of the most common practices for congestion management in the United States. Although the benefits of improved signal timing for reduced fuel consumption are well documented, its effectiveness as a transportation control measure for emissions has not been clearly investigated. An empirical approach based on real-world, on-road vehicle emissions measurements was used. A total of 824 one-way runs representing 100 h and 2,020 vehicle miles of travel were conducte

Abstract:

The adoption of heavy-duty electric vehicles (HDEVs) is key to achieving transportation decarbonization. A major component of this transition is the need for new supporting infrastructure: electric charging stations (CSs). HDEV CSs must be planned considering charging requirements, economic constraints, the rollout plan for HDEVs, and local utility grid conditions. Together, these considerations highly differentiate HDEV CS planning from light-duty CS planning. This paper addresses the challenges of HDEV CS planning by presenting a framework for determining the optimal sizing of multiple HDEV

Abstract:

Freight transport significantly contributes to urban traffic but is often overlooked by decision-makers compared to passenger transport. Conventional transportation modelling studies often use aggregate approaches for freight transport, undoubtedly due to the difficulty of data collection. However, the nature of freight transportation is much more complex. For this reason, examining the determinants of freight vehicle preferences with discrete approaches is crucial for the contributions that can be put forward, especially in local studies. To address this apparent gap in the study of local dis

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is computer-aided engineering analysis of the recently proposed side-vent-channel concept for mitigation of the blast-loads resulting from a shallow-buried mine detonated underneath a light tactical vehicle. The concept involves the use of side-vent-channels attached to the V-shaped vehicle underbody, and was motivated by the concepts and principles of operation of the so-called “pulse detonation” rocket engines. By proper shaping of the V-hull and side-vent-channels, venting of supersonically expanding gaseous detonation products is promoted in order to gen

The current traffic lights are composed of red, amber, and green, and it is controversial that the drivers’ behavior choices and the content of the relevant laws & regulations during the amber timing. From the current situation with the signal intersection, the amber light time and the red clearance aren’t differentiate, usually the amber light time acts as red clearance. It will not improve the traffic operating efficiency of the intersection, but bring more traffic conflicts, if the role of the amber light time returns to academic research, which the amber is a warning signal.

Poor air quality has been identified as one of the main risks to human health, especially in developing regions, where the information on physical chemical properties of air pollutants is lacking. To bridge this gap, we conducted an intensive measurement campaign in Manila, Philippines to determine the emission factors (EFs) of particle number (PN) and equivalent black carbon (BC). The focus was on public utility jeepneys (PUJ), equipped with old technology diesel engines, widely used for public transportation. The EFs were determined by aerosol physical measurements, fleet information, and mo

Abstract:

The existing forward collision warning (FCW) systems that adopt kinematic or perceptual parameters have some drawbacks in the warning performance because of poor adaptability to the users or ineffectiveness of the warnings. To solve the problems of adaptability, several FCW models have been proposed based on algorithms (machine learning, deep learning). However, there is a lack of consideration for the multi-staged warning to avoid an abrupt warning that may startle or distract the driver. In this study, a light gradient boosting machine (LGBM) was adopted to develop a multi-staged FCW. The pr

The electric vehicles (EVs) could potentially have a significant impact on power quality parameters and distribution networks as they are non-linear loads and their charging might result in tremendous power demand. When connected to the utility grid, a large number of EV charging stations from different manufacturers might create significant harmonic current emissions, impact the voltage profile, and eventually affect the power quality. Nevertheless, practical examples of disturbances from charging stations have not been made public. This paper aims to clarify the characteristics of conductive

FCS downtime can be avoided by mitigating voltage fluctuation and light flicker. Flicker mitigation devices that are available in the market are characterized by their high total annual equivalent costs. As an alternative, a novel smart charging method is proposed in this stu
