Use the Driving Simulator to Synthesize the Related Vehicle Specific Power (VSP) for Emission and Fuel Consumption Estimations
项目名称: Use the Driving Simulator to Synthesize the Related Vehicle Specific Power (VSP) for Emission and Fuel Consumption Estimations
摘要: Vehicle emissions are highly related to the operation of vehicles, which is partially reflected in the speed and acceleration profiles and results in different Vehicle Specific Power (VSP) and operating modes. In the real world, it is very difficult to arbitrary change a control strategy. This research uses the advanced driving simulator to test the resulted speed and acceleration, and thus the vehicle emissions. Various traffic control scenarios will be prepared and a group of subjects that represents the populations in gender, driving experiences, age, etc. in the region will be recruited for simulator lab testing. The operational variables such as speed and acceleration rate for each participant under each control scenario will be recorded and finally retrieved from the system. VSP and operating mode under different traffic control scenarios will be calculated, and the resulted vehicle emissions and fuel consumptions will be estimated. Finally the impacts of different traffic control strategies to vehicle emissions and fuel consumption will be synthesized, and the results can be used as a reference to field engineers and policy makers.
