Based on 2.0L spark ignition direct-injection(SIDI) turbo charged gasoline engine with variable valve timing(VVT), the spark timing effects on combustion process, fuel consumption, knock limitation and emissions were studied with external exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) on different loads and speeds. For the purpose of easily comparing data results, the location of 50% mass fraction burned(CA50) was widely used in this paper. The study results show that CA50 is changing linearly with spark timing. To reach the same combustion phase, spark timing need to be further advanced with external EGR. Combustion variability of IMEP(COV) increase sharply with retarding of CA50 with external EGR. The external EGR can greatly improve knock limitation and knock intensity(KI). To reach the best fuel consumption, CA50 need to be advanced to 6 °CA to 8 °CA for both with external EGR and without external EGR. NOx emissions increase with advancing of spark timing. HC show different trends when retarding spark timing with and without external EGR.

In this paper, the HDM car-following model, the IIDM car-following model and the IDM car-following model with a constant-acceleration heuristic is utilized to explore the effects of ACC/CACC on the fuel consumption and emissionsat the signalized intersection. Two simulation experiments are studied: (i) one with free road ahead and (ii) the second with a red light 300 m downstream at the second intersection. The numerical results show that CACC vehicle is the best vehicle type among the three vehicle types from the perspective of vehicle’s cumulative fuel consumptions and cumulative exhaust emissions. The results of this paper also suggest a very high environmental benefit of ACC/CACC at little or no cost in infrastructure.

Electric vehicle (EV) has become a potential traffic tool, which has attracted researchers to explore various traffic phenomena caused by EV (e.g. congestion, electricity consumption, etc.). In this paper, we study the energy consumption (including the fuel consumption and the electricity consumption) and emissions of heterogeneous traffic flow (that consists of the traditional vehicle (TV) and EV) under three traffic situations (i.e. uniform flow, shock and rarefaction waves, and a small perturbation) from the perspective of macro traffic flow. The numerical results show that the proportion of electric vehicular flow has great effects on the TV’s fuel consumption and emissions and the EV’s electricity consumption, i.e. the fuel consumption and emissions decrease while the electricity consumption increases with the increase of the proportion of electric vehicular flow. The results can help us better understand the energy consumption and emissions of the heterogeneous traffic flow consisting of TV and EV.

Sensor technology and computer control technology are applied to automobile fuel consumption testing in the automobile industry developed countries, the function and precision of the test are developing and perfecting continually. In our country, automobile fuel consumption test mainly applies ordinary consumption test devices, that test item are single-chip, which is applied for testing the flow of time. The display of method mainly based on the pointer instrument and partially on circuit control, so the maintenance and reliability of the test does not excellent. We do research and develop the intelligent one which is called quick testing instrument for automobile fuel consumption, which applies sensor technology, computer control technology and advanced instrument technology, that can be applied for the testing for automobile fuel consumption and data show. It can improve the measurement precision of automobile fuel consumption and degree of automation, with the down cost as high cost-effective consequences. The test instrument can be used for testing instantaneous fuel consumption, average fuel consumption and accumulative total consumption of gasoline engine and diesel engine.
