This book was released on 2017-01-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers almost all the countries of the world in order to decide which countries would be able to convert to hydrogen-fueled transportation earlier and which countries would do it later. We have decided that the following nine factors (which will be called influence factors) will have more impact for a countrys conversion to hydrogen-fueled transportation than other factors: Size Population Income per capita Educational level Borders Petroleum dependence Vehicles per capita Hydrogen-filling stations We have obtained the data for size (S), population (P), income per capita (I), and vehicles per thousand of population (V) for the year 2008. We have calculated educational expenditures as percentage of GDP for education level (E) for 2007. After the basic merit factor analysis, we assumed that all the dimensionless influence factors have the same effect on the merit factors for deciding whether a country could move to the hydrogen-fueled transportation system faster than the other countries. In other words, we assumed that each dimensionless influence factor has a weight of one. In the real world, some influence factors will have a greater effect than the others. Then we defined a new weighted merit factor. We have developed an analytical method in order to access the potential of countries for conversion to hydrogen-fueled transportation, which we have named merit factor analysis. This has been based on the selection of influence factors, which influence the outcome, and on the decision of whether the effect of a given influence factor will support the desired outcome or will be an obstacle to the desired outcome. We have further refined our analytical system by the introduction of weighting factors that measure the impact of a given influence factor for the desired outcome or against the desired outcome. We have named the two versions of the analytical method basic merit factor analysis and weighted merit factor analysis respectively. Of course, the analytical method that we have developed could be applied to other cases in order to compare the potential of a given entity for a desired outcome. For example, it could be applied for the profit potentials of commercial companies by selecting the appropriate influence factors and weighting factors.

This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Review of the Research Program of the U.S. DRIVE Partnership: Fifth Report follows on four previous reviews of the FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership, which was the predecessor of the U.S. DRIVE Partnership. The U.S. DRIVE (Driving Research and Innovation for Vehicle Efficiency and Energy Sustainability) vision, according to the charter of the Partnership, is this: American consumers have a broad range of affordable personal transportation choices that reduce petroleum consumption and significantly reduce harmful emissions from the transportation sector. Its mission is as follows: accelerate the development of pre-competitive and innovative technologies to enable a full range of efficient and clean advanced light-duty vehicles (LDVs), as well as related energy infrastructure. The Partnership focuses on precompetitive research and development (R&D) that can help to accelerate the emergence of advanced technologies to be commercialization-feasible. The guidance for the work of the U.S. DRIVE Partnership as well as the priority setting and targets for needed research are provided by joint industry/government technical teams. This structure has been demonstrated to be an effective means of identifying high-priority, long-term precompetitive research needs for each technology with which the Partnership is involved. Technical areas in which research and development as well as technology validation programs have been pursued include the following: internal combustion engines (ICEs) potentially operating on conventional and various alternative fuels, automotive fuel cell power systems, hydrogen storage systems (especially onboard vehicles), batteries and other forms of electrochemical energy storage, electric propulsion systems, hydrogen production and delivery, and materials leading to vehicle weight reductions.
Book Synopsis Transport Efficiency and Safety in China by : Pengjun Zhao
Download or read book Transport Efficiency and Safety in China written by Pengjun Zhao and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-08 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive analysis of transport efficiency in China. It presents a series of rigorous empirical analysis for the operation and environmental efficiencies of major transport sectors, including highway, railway, civil aviation, and waterway. It also evaluates transport safety of China. The book innovatively employs a DEA model based on Epsilon measures (EBM) to evaluate transport efficiency and an EBM DEA model with undesirable outputs to calculate transport environmental efficiency. The factors of transport efficiency are quantitatively studied, including economic growth, social transition, and technology changes. Also, China's policies aimed at improving transportation efficiency are evaluated. The theoretical analyses and discussions would enhance our existing knowledge of the changes and determinants of transport system’s efficiency in a context of rapid urbanization, industrialization, and marketization in China. The findings of the existing policy evaluation would bring fresh evidences for transport policy performances to both scholars and politicians. In particular, it shows policymakers the experiences or lessons of how to create an efficient transport system in order to save energy use, reduce GHGs emissions, and improve social security. This book is of great interest to scholars interested in sustainable transport, regional planning and development, environmental policy and is relevant to China and other developing countries.
