The aim of this research was to determine the characteristics, volumes and treatability of Full-service carwash wastewaters in Toluca (Mexico State). The average water use for Exterior-only wash was 50 L per small-size car and 170 L per medium-size vehicle (pick up, van or light truck). The Full-service wash (exterior, engine and chassis) required 170 L per small-size car and 300 L per light tr...

context of in-vehicle data networks. This technology can provide high-speed data connectivity via the exploitation of the existing power network, with clear potential benefits in terms of cost and weight reduction. The focus is on two scenarios: an electric car and a cruise ship. An overview of the wiring infrastructure and the network topology in these two scenarios is provided. The main findi...

A rather simple car driving simulator was created based on the available open source engine TORCS and used to analyze the basic features of human behavior in car driving within the car-following and free-driving setups. Four drivers with different skill in driving real cars participated in these experiments. They were instructed to driver a virtual car without overtaking the lead car driven by ...

Decreasing production and rising prices of cars, especially those with electric drive, lead to longer use cars internal combustion engines. It can be assumed that in the future, more powered by such engines high mileage therefore wear will used. Engine leads reduced efficiency increased emissions. This paper analyzes impact piston–rings–cylinder system components on energy losses associated gas...

Semantic labeling is an active field in remote sensing applications. Although handling high detailed objects in Very High Resolution (VHR) optical image and VHR Digital Surface Model (DSM) is a challenging task, it can improve the accuracy of semantic labeling methods. In this paper, a semantic labeling method is proposed by fusion of optical and normalized DSM data. Spectral and spatial featur...

To achieve the maximum performance of an engine while maintain safety race car, it is essential to cool properly. Therefore, this article deals with experimental measurement cooling modules pressure drop formula student car. Leading right choice fan behind radiator. Series measurements were taken at UWB in wind tunnel department Power System Engineering.

This paper describes the development of Tata Nano Engine Management System and the related electrical and electronics architecture. The design criteria for the electrical and electronics architecture are discussed in detail in the body of the paper. When the Nano project was first conceived, the existing low cost car in India was not affordable by common people. The Nano project was targeted fo...

BACKGROUND Twelve workers from a car engine-manufacturing plant presented with extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA), with heterogeneous clinical, radiological and pathological findings. They were exposed to metalworking fluids (MWF) that cooled, lubricated and cleaned the machines. METHODS They were characterized by history, examination, lung function testing, radiology, bronchoscopic lavage, ...

This paper reports about practical experience and algorithmic improvements in active isolation of engine induced vibration. The analysed control algorithms are implemented on an experimental setup that resembles the automobile structure of interest. All considered algorithms are of feedforward structure. An important condition of the given application is the availability of a tachometer signal....

The techniques and the technologies supporting Automatic Vehicle Guidance are an important issue. Automobile manufacturers view automatic driving as a very interesting product with motivating key features which allow improvement of the safety of the car, reducing emission or fuel consumption or optimizing driver comfort during long journeys. Car racing is an active research field where new adva...
