(1) Dan had been driving all night in order to get home for Thanksgiving. Before long, Dan drove past a truck/bus which was stopped with a flat tire. He couldn’t help but laugh because its spare tire must have been underneath everything and suitcases and boxes were strewn everywhere. Later, while Dan was sitting in a diner, drinking some coffee, a policeman came in and started a conversation wi...

The research represents one of the first major qualitative studies to subjectively investigate fatigue amongst city bus drivers. Funded by TfL (grant no. 94050), study considers perspectives both drivers themselves and their managers. It explores opinion specifically in relation how influences or is influenced driving, this managed. Data was collected from focus groups with (n = 65 drivers) one...

Abstract Suroboyo Bus and Trans Semanggi are public modes in Surabaya City, should be one way to serve city mobility high number. However, the load factor of bus is below 50%. Therefore, it necessary evaluate provision transportation, such as accessibility. This study uses Public Transport Accessibility Levels (PTAL) method analyze The analysis result shows that most accessibility levels very p...

In order to help improve the economy, energy savings and emission reductions of pure electric buses, based on driving data, a new cycle construction method is proposed. Through dividing short trips calculation characteristic parameter values, two typical conditions (weekday condition weekend condition) are constructed via principal components analysis k-means clustering method, both have high d...

As one of the most popular and important forms massive transit, public bus contributes to a healthier environment compared private vehicles. Through electrification bus, energy consumption, carbon emission, air pollution can be significantly reduced. However, limited driving range high battery replacement cost put significant barriers its large-scale commercialization. Thanks development wirele...

For an automatic steering problem of a city bus the reference maneuvers and specifications are introduced. The robustness problem arises from large variations in velocity, mass, and road-tire contact. Two controller structures, both with feedback of the lateral displacement and the yaw rate, are introduced: a linear controller and a nonlinear controller. The controller parameters are first hand...

Today, the electric/electronic (E/E) architecture of modern cars is a distributed network of embedded systems, consisting of several bus systems, dozens of electronic control units (ECUs) and hundreds of sensors and actuators. To this system, high requirements regarding determinism are imposed which form the basis for safe operation in any conceivable driving situation. Because of that, the tim...
