The paper describes the influence of the start-stop system on the exhaust emissions and fuel consumption. The tests were performed for two vehicles. The first one was a vehicle designed specifically to operate in city conditions. It was fitted with a gasoline engine of the displacement of 0.9 dm3 and maximum power output of 63.7 kW. The other vehicle was an SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) fitted with a diesel engine of the displacement of 3.0 dm3. The measurements of the exhaust emission were carried out on the same route under actual traffic conditions. For the tests a portable exhaust emissions analyzer from the PEMS group SEMTECH DS was used (PEMS Portable Emissions Measurement System).

Abstract The article compares the exhaust emissions in road conditions of city buses: LNG and Diesel. Both buses met the Euro VI exhaust emission norm. The current strong drive to diversify fuels in Poland and the creation of a large gas port in Świnoujście for LNG imports creates an excellent opportunity to use this fuel, also in road transport. Therefore, the attempt to identify the emission in operation, in first place possible applications, i.e. an LNG bus, comparatively with the emission of a Diesel bus. The operational research carried out concerned such a bus and has not yet been carried out in the country, hence their innovation, also methodological. The conducted research, in particular, was aimed at verifying differences in exhaust emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides. The study was carried out on one urban bus route performing trips on consecutive days in similar environmental conditions. The performed tests were not strictly type approval tests but only used for comparative purposes. Hence, it was necessary to determine the compliance factor for the relevant exhaust gas substances, with the use of an evaluation algorithm based on measurement windows. Based on these results, the assumption regarding compliance with the emission requirements for the tested buses was verified in real traffic conditions. The exhaust emission values (emission indicators) determined in this way did not exceed the permissible emission limit values for carbon monoxide, while for nitrogen oxides and non-methane hydrocarbons certain exceedances were found.

ABSTRAK Penurunan kualitas udara pada bumi terus menurun. Ini disebabkan oleh polusi udara semakin lama semakin meningkat. Peningkatan jumlah kendaraan juga menjadi salah satu penyebab menurunnya kualitas udara. Penegakan aturan yang ketat dalam pengendalian pencemaran pada emisi gas buang semakin diperketat. Oleh itu diperlukan suatu bahan bakar kendaraan yang dapat mengurangkan emisi gas buang pada kendaraan. Pada saat sekarang ini pencarian bahan bakar ramah lingkungan difokuskan dengan menggunakan aditif berbahan dasar alami. Dengan demikian perlu diteliti penambahan aditif ditambahkan ke minyak solar, dengan tujuan untuk mengurangi emisi gas buang. Sebuah mesin diesel satu silinder telah digunakan yang digabungkan gas analyzer Bosc tipe BEA 150 / 250 / 350. Oksigenat berbahan dasar nabati digunakan sebagai aditif dalam bahan bakar diesel dengan campuran 1% - 5% volume. Tes emisi gas buang dilakukan pada kecepatan antara 900 - 1.700 rpm dan kondisi beban penuh. Percobaan dilakukan untuk mendapatkan parameter emisi gas buang. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa penambahan aditif oksigenat sebanyak 1 % bisa menurunkan jelaga 30%, meningkatkan CO2 sebanyak 5%, menurunkan CO 35% dan peningkatan NOx sebanyak 9% dibanding solar murni. Kata Kunci : Mesin diesel, Oksigenat, Emisi Gas Buang ABSTRACT Decline in air quality on earth continues to occur. One of its causes is air pollution which is the mistake of vehicle exhaust emissions. Strict enforcement of pollution control on exhaust emissions is one way to control exhaust emissions. It is therefore necessary to fuel a vehicle that can reduce exhaust emissions on vehicles. At the present time this environmentally friendly fuel search is focused using natural based additives. Thus it is necessary to examine the addition of additives added to the diesel oil, with the aim of reducing exhaust emissions. A single-cylinder diesel engine has been used which incorporates a BEA 150/250/350 Bosc gas analyzer. Vegetable oxygenates are used as additives in diesel fuel with a mixture of 1% - 5% by volume. The exhaust emission test is carried out at speeds between 900 - 1,700 rpm and full load conditions. The experiment was conducted to obtain the parameters of exhaust emissions. The experimental results show that the addition of 1% oxygenate additive can decrease carbon 30%, increase CO2 by 5%, decrease CO 35% and increase NOx by 9% compared to pure diesel. Keyword : Diesel Engine, Oxygenat, Emission Engine

Optimal Control Action

Eco-driving behavior is able to improve vehicles’ fuel consumption efficiency and minimize exhaust emissions, especially with the presence of infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) communications for connected vehicles. Several techniques such as dynamic programming and neural networks have been proposed to study eco-driving behavior. However, most techniques need a complicated problem-solving process and cannot be applied to dynamic traffic conditions. Comparatively, reinforcement learning (RL) presents great potential for self-learning to take actions in a complicated environment to achieve the optimal mapping between traffic conditions and the corresponding optimal control action of a vehicle. In this paper, a vehicle was treated as an agent to select its maneuver, that is, acceleration, cruise speed, and deceleration, according to dynamic conditions while approaching a signalized intersection equipped with I2V communication. An improved cellular automation model was utilized as the simulation platform. Three parameters, including the distance between the vehicle and the intersection, signal status, and instant vehicle speeds, were selected to characterize real-time traffic state. The total CO2 emitted by the vehicle on the approach to the intersection serves as a measure of reward policy that informs the vehicle how good its operation was. The Q-learning algorithm was utilized to optimize vehicle driving behaviors for eco-driving. Vehicle exhaust emissions and traffic performance (travel time, stop duration, and stop rate) were evaluated in two cases: (1) an isolated intersection, and (2) a medium-scale realistic network. Simulation results showed that the eco-driving behavior obtained by RL can not only reduce emissions but also optimize traffic performance.

Procedure Guidelines

The article compares data obtained in road tests with the latest legislative proposals relating to various applications of internal combustion engines. Passenger car emission tests have been performed several times on the same test route in accordance with the RDE procedure guidelines, for which a dozen or so criteria must be met, including the distance of each of the drive sections, their in the drive time and the dynamic characteristics of the drive. The analysis was also based on a two-dimensional operating density characterization, presented in the vehicle speed-acceleration coordinates. As a result, it was possible to compare dynamic properties, operating time density and, thus, to check the validity of conducted drive tests in terms of their feasibility and emission values. An exhaust emission related comparison of three types of powertrain have been presented: gasoline, diesel and hybrid in the RDE tests. The authors proposed a new form of presenting the road exhaust emissions results in relation to the carbon dioxide emission, referred to as a standardization of the emission results. The exhaust emissions from city buses fitted with different powertrains tested on an actual bus route and in the SORT test were also compared.
