Life cycle cost analysis of a car, a city bus and an intercity bus powertrain for year 2005 and 2020
The international economy, in the beginning of the 20th century, is characterized by uncertainty about the supply and the price of oil. Together with the fast decrease of electrical propulsion component prices, it becomes more and more cost effective to develop vehicles with alternative powertrains. This paper focuses on two questions: Are alternative powertrains especially cost effective for s...
متن کاملAnalysis of bus passenger comfort perception based on passenger load factor and in-vehicle time
Although bus comfort is a crucial indicator of service quality, existing studies tend to focus on passenger load and ignore in-vehicle time, which can also affect passengers' comfort perception. Therefore, by conducting surveys, this study examines passengers' comfort perception while accounting for both factors. Then, using the survey data, it performs a two-way analysis of variance and shows ...
متن کاملComparison of powertrain system configurations for electric passenger vehicles
Electric vehicles (EV) are considered a practical alternative to conventional and hybrid electric passenger vehicles, with higher overall powertrain efficiencies by omitting the internal combustion engine. As a consequence of lower energy density in the battery energy storage as compared to fossil fuels powered vehicles, EVs have limited driving range, leading to a range phobia and limited cons...
متن کاملAn observational comparison of the older and younger bus passenger experience in a developing world city.
This study was an unobtrusive observational analysis of 333 older and younger bus passengers in Guadalajara, Mexico. A set of data were collected for each observed passenger, as well as more general observations related to driver behaviour, bus design and bus service characteristics. There were significant differences between older and younger passengers in terms of boarding and alighting times...
متن کاملPassenger density and flow analysis and city zones and bus stops classification for public bus service management
This work presents, for the first time in literature, a low-cost framework to mine data obtained from passengers smart cards, buses GPS and bus stops geolocation using Lambda Architecture approach. Operators, companies, government and passengers will use this knowledge for improving usability, comfort, and quality of transportation service. This analysis gives greater insight into the volume an...
