The Case for Urban Vehicles: Powertrain Optimization of a Power-split Hybrid for Fuel Economy on Multiple Drive Cycles
* Corresponding author. ABSTRACT Designing vehicles specifically for city use is a topic of increasing interest in the transportation community. Hybrid vehicle design typically seeks to maximize fuel economy subject to acceleration performance and other constraints, based upon the expected driving needs of the average user. Fuel economy predictions are inaccurate when the vehicle’s expected and...
متن کاملFuel economy improvements for urban driving: Hybrid vs. intelligent vehicles
The quest for more fuel-efficient vehicles is being driven by the increasing price of oil. Hybrid electric powertrains have established a presence in the marketplace primarily based on the promise of fuel savings through the use of an electric motor in place of the internal combustion engine during different stages of driving. However, these fuel savings associated with hybrid vehicle operation...
متن کاملFuel Economy and Mobility of Multi-Wheel Drive Vehicles: Modeling and Optimization Technology
A distinctive feature of unmanned and conventional terrain vehicles with four or more driving wheels consists of the fact that energy/fuel efficiency and mobility depend markedly not only on the total power applied to all the driving wheels, but also on the distribution of the total power among the wheels. As shown, under given terrain conditions, the same vehicle with a constant total power at...
متن کاملProspects on Fuel Economy Improvements for Hydrogen Powered Vehicles
Fuel cell vehicles are the subject of extensive research and development because of their potential for high efficiency and low emissions. Because fuel cell vehicles remain expensive and the demand for hydrogen is therefore limited, very few fueling stations are being built. To try to accelerate the development of a hydrogen economy, some original equipment manufacturers (OEM) in the automotive...
متن کاملStep on It: Approaches to Improving Existing Vehicles’ Fuel Economy
In this paper we attempt to understand how policy interventions could improve the fuel economy of drivers without changing the vehicles they drive or the trips they take. To do this, we use high-resolution driving data to document the large variation in actual on-road fuel economy achieved by drivers of identical vehicles. We analyze this variation using a model that links driver behavior to ve...
