Mobile Source CO2 Mitigation through Smart Growth Development and Vehicle Fleet Hybridization

Mobile source CO2 mitigation through smart growth development and vehicle fleet hybridization.

This paper presents the results of a study on the effectiveness of smart growth development patterns and vehicle fleet hybridization in reducing mobile source emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) across 11 major metropolitan regions of the Midwestern U.S. over a 50-year period. Through the integration of a vehicle travel activity modeling framework developed by researchers atthe Oak Ridge National...

Economic growth, Financial development and CO2 Emission: PSTR Approach

The aim of this paper is to assess the sign and magnitude of the nonlinear effects of main socio-economic variables as well as the financial development index(measured by private credit to GDP ratio) on the environmental pollution. Specifically, the interaction of the socio-economic variables with financial development as a threshold variable in affecting CO2 emission is studied. In this respec...

Singapore Road Vehicle Fleet Evolution

Vehicle fleet modeling is a useful tool to analyze the dynamics of motor vehicles and their environmental impact at a macroscopic level, and has been applied in the USA and Europe. In this article, a road fleet model is constructed for the city-state Singapore. Policies that control vehicle ownership and congestion road pricing employed since 1998 differentiate Singapore’s vehicle market from o...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
