There are lots of studies about hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) because of the global warming and energy problems. Series and parallel HEVs are the common types of many developing hybrid vehicle types. Series HEV uses engine only as the generator for the battery but parallel HEV utilizes engine for driving and generating of the vehicle. In this paper, backward simulations based on dynamic programming were conducted for the fuel economy analysis of two different types of hybrid transit buses depending on driving cycles. It is shown that there is a relation between the type of HEV and the characteristics of driving cycles. Regarding the aggressiveness, the series hybrid bus is more efficient than the parallel system on highly aggressive driving cycle. On the other hand, the parallel hybrid bus is more efficient than the series system on low aggressive driving cycle. Based on this results of the paper, it is expected to choose more efficient type of the hybrid buses according to the driving cycle.

To improve the vehicle fuel economy, various technologies have been studied. Meanwhile it deteriorates fuel economy that the increased driving torque for Power Steering System (PSS) due to weighted vehicle and widened tire for low speed driving and parking. So the larger driving torque for PSS is, the lower fuel economy is. Therefore, the study about the effect of the driving torque for PSS and the engine total friction must be preceded to improve the vehicle fuel economy. In this study, a PSS module separated from the vehicle is used to measure the driving torque for PSS with respect to the pressure of PSS. The result shows that the driving torque for PSS was in direct proportion to the pressure of PSS 3 (N-m) driving torque for PSS vs. 10 (bar) pressure of PSS, and 8 (N-m) vs. 40 (bar). In addition, the driving torque and pressure for PSS was measured according to the engine speed in the component test condition which was in the vehicle condition. Measuring the driving torque for PSP in the vehicle condition was established by using the VeFAS which was a fuel economy analyzer developed in our lab and installing PSS By-pass line. The effect of the driving torque for PSS on the vehicle fuel economy was analyzed with FTP-75 cold start mode.

Recently, studies conducted by our research group, revealed the possibility for reducing BSFC, NOx and PM emissions to meet the Euro 4 & 5 legislations. The main objective of the present study is to get better fuel economy in commercial vehicles by considering real driving conditions. Firstly, in order to improve fuel economy on fields, specifically it is required to analyze the driving pattern and make the representative modes from real field data. Secondly, it is performed to make the engine dynometer test to optimize the fuel consumption by reflecting on the representative driving modes, based on the Korea 2008 emission legislation equal to the Euro 4. The engine components such as engine calibration, combustion chamber, turbocharger and ancilliaries were modified to optimize vehicle fuel economy over a typical customer drive cycle whilst still meeting the exhaust emission restrictions. Finally, these results were confirmed by field testing of vehicle equipped with the updated calibration engine. It was placed the two vehicles together traveling the same route and accomplishing the same amount of stops(back to back), in order to evaluate the fuel consumption in comparison to the current vehicle. Through several repeats such as the engine calibration and field test, we could get 3 % to 7.7 % vehicle fuel economy improvements compared to previous vehicle.

직렬형 하이브리드 자동차는 구조가 간단하고 단품들의 효율이 높기 때문에 연비성능이 우수하며, 병렬형과 비교하여 배터리, 엔진, 모터의 용량이 상대적으로 고용량인 특징을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 직렬형 하이브리드 자동차의 최적용량매칭을 통해 최적의 연비를 도출하고, 실시간 시뮬레이션 환경에서 사용될 알고리즘을 개발한다. 연구에서 진행된 용량매칭은 모터, 엔진/발전기 및 배터리를 대상으로 13개 주행 사이클에 대하여 순차적으로 이루어 졌으며, 이를 위해 Matlab 환경에서 최적화 기법인 DP(Dynamic Programming)을 사용하였다. 실시간 성능검증을 위한 차량모델은 Simulink 및 AMEsim을 기반으로 개발되었고 실시간 제어로직이 구현된 RCP(Rapid Control Proto-typing)와 연동하여 그 성능을 확인할 수 있었다.

유류소모량 산정 모형 개발을 위해서는 차종, 도로의 경사, 포장상태, 포장종류 등 다양한 변수들을 고려해야 하지만 현재 사용하고 있는 국토교통부의 투자평가지침에도 차종으로만 구분이 되어 있을 뿐 다양한 요인들을 고려하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 도로의 경사도가 승용차의 유류소모량에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 실제 주행실험을 통해 얻은 데이터를 기반으로 유류소모량 산정 모형을 개발하고 적용성을 검증하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 경사도에 따른 유류소모량 모형 개발을 위해 GPS 장비와 연비측정장비를 이용하여 실제 주행실험을 통해 유류소모량을 초(sec)단위로 측정하였다. 평지(${\pm}0{\sim}2%$), 오르막(+2~5%), 내리막(-2~5%)의 세 가지 경사도로 구분하였으며 차량의 속도와 유류소모량을 변수로 하는 회귀모형을 이용하여 모형을 개발하였다. 승용차의 유류소모량은 내리막, 평지, 오르막 순으로 커지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 유료 운송시스템의 대표적인 예인 택시를 가정하여, 최대 수익을 위한 최적의 운행속도에 대한 수식적인 분석을 수행한다. 손님의 분포에 따라 평균 운행속도를 5km/h부터 80km/h까지 시속을 5km/h씩 늘려가며 분석하였으며 연비는 LPG차량의 실제적인 연비를 적용하였으며, 요금 또한 실제의 예를 적용하였다. 분석 결과, 택시의 속도가 높을수록 손님을 태우는 확률이 높아지나, 따라서 연료비 부담도 함께 늘어나므로 손님의 분포정도에 따라 수익금에 차이가 나는 것을 확인 하였으며, 이를 기반으로 하여 최대 수익을 위한 최적의 속도를 구하였다.

The LPG vehicles are being operated by commercial purposes generally such as taxis. Most of taxis have a long-mileage and a harsh driving pattern. These properties may accelerate aging of the three-way catalysts much faster than the passenger vehicles. Because of this background, it was analyzed the test result of fuel efficiency and emissions on the LPG-fueled light duty vehicle. It was selected for a LPG vehicle of ULEV level to measure the fuel efficiency and emissions of the aged three-way catalysts. And the aged three-way catalysts which was driven about 300,000km and 550,000km replaced on the test vehicle in consecutive order. As a result, The aged three-way catalysts generally had no effect on fuel efficiency result, and harmful exhaust emissions had been shown to increase in most of the test mode, even though it satisfied the regulation value on most test modes.

This study was conducted to analyze the impact of low level bio-alcohols that can be applied without modification of vehicles to improve air quality in Korea. The emissions and fuel economy of low level bio-alcohols mixed gasoline fuels of spark ignition vehicles, which are direct injection and port fuel injection, were studied in this paper. As a result of the evaluation, the particle number (PN) was reduced in all evaluation fuels compared to the sub octane gasoline without oxygen, but the correlation with the PN due to the increase in the oxygen content was not clear. In the CVS-75 mode, emitted CO tended to decrease compared to sub octane gasoline, but no significant correlation was found between NMHC, NOx and fuel economy. In addition, it was found that the aldehyde increased in the oxygenated fuel, and there was no difference in terms of the amount of aldehyde generated among a series of bio-alcohol mixed fuels.

Fuel efficiency is one of the major issues in regard to energy and environment. As customers desire more comfortable vehicles, increase of accessory traction force is necessary. Air conditioning system (ACS) consumes the biggest traction force among accessories, especially during summer. This means ACS is the primary object deteriorating fuel economy among accessories. Since direct measurement of traction force and fuel consumption in practical vehicle is difficult, comparison analysis is taken between vehicle with and without ACS working. For this comparison, real time measurements are carried out to know ACS traction force and fuel consumption. As a result of the comparison, a vehicle without ACS operation was 15.92% superior to a vehicle with ACS operating. It could be used as a fundamental material for improvement ACS for better fuel efficiency.
