متن کاملOptimal Deployment of Wireless Charging Facilities for an Electric Bus System (MPC-513)
Research Needs: Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the transportation sector account for about 27% of the total GHG emissions in the United States. Due to increased travel demand and limited improvement in fuel efficiency, the GHG emissions from transportation have increased by 16% since 1990 (USEPA, 2015). About 80% of transit buses are currently powered by diesel engines, which are a primary...
متن کاملON A FUZZY APPLICATION OF THE PARTICULATE MATTERS ESTIMATION
The Bosphorus (Istanbul Strait) that connects the continents of Europe and Asia is too complex due to geographical conditions and have a continuously increasing maritime traffic. The length of the Bosphorus which connect the Black Sea and the Marmara Sea is 29.9 km. The number of ships (Tanker, general Cargo and bulk carrier) passing through the Istanbul strait was recorded as 42553 in 2016 an...
متن کاملAssessing the Costs for Hybrid versus Regular Transit Buses
The main reasons agencies consider hybrid transit vehicles are fuel savings and reduced emissions. Hybrid electric buses offer an attractive option and have the potential to reduce operating costs for transit agencies significantly. Wayne et al. (2009) estimated that use of diesel-electric hybrid buses in 15 percent of the US transit fleet could reduce fuel consumption by 50.7 million gallons o...
متن کاملIn-Use Performance Comparison of Hybrid Electric, CNG, and Diesel Buses at New York City Transit
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) evaluated the performance of diesel, compressed natural gas (CNG), and hybrid electric (equipped with BAE Systems’ HybriDrive propulsion system) transit buses at New York City Transit (NYCT). CNG, Gen I and Gen II hybrid electric propulsion systems were compared on fuel economy, maintenance and operating costs per mile, and reliability. These comp...
