Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between components of vehicle operating costs (VOCs) and highway characteristics has been studied by many researchers over the years, but many issues still remain to be resolved. In particular, although fuel consumption should be the easiest component to model, there is considerable variance between reported results. A comprehensive experiment was therefore designed to investigate the effects of road-surface characteristics on fuel consumption, as a first step toward establishing reliable VOC relations for South African conditions. A passenger car, two medium-sized trucks, and two buses were chosen for coast-down tests to determine rolling resistance over a series of road sections, covering the ranges of surface conditions encountered locally. The models developed predict that at constant speeds on level roads, road-surface characteristics can affect the fuel consumption of passenger cars by up to 7% and that of trucks and buses by up to 20%. It is believed that these models can be applied with confidence in practice, considering the comprehensive nature of the experiment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vehicular fuel consumption and emissions are two increasingly important measures of effectiveness of sustainable transportation systems, particularly considering that mobile sources in the U.S. account for the largest consumption of energy and generation of air pollution. Improving the energy efficiency of the transportation sector including improving vehicle shape, weight, engine size, and tire quality could play a vital role in reducing fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions. Pavement surface type and other surface characteristics such as skid resistance and roughness affect vehicular fuel consumption. The main objective of this study has been to investigate any differences that might exist in fuel consumption when operating an instrumented van on an Asphalt Concrete (AC) versus on a Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavement under city driving conditions. The overall study goal has been to recommend consideration of such user costs or savings in the life cycle analysis of alternative pavement designs for city streets. Fuel consumption measurements were made on multiple runs under two driving modes: 30-mph constant speed and 3-mph/sec acceleration for 10 seconds. All factors that could affect fuel consumption, other than the pavement surface were either controlled or kept the same during the measurement runs. Those factors included speed, ambient temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, vehicle weight, tire pressure, and use of auxiliary devices in the vehicle. The results indicated that the differences in fuel consumption rates were statistically significant at a 10% level of significance under both constant speed and acceleration modes, with the fuel consumption rates on the PCC pavements being lower. The extrapolated results also indicated that if all the annual vehicle miles of travel in the Dallas-Fort Worth region took place at a constant speed of 30 mph on PCC pavements, the statistically lower fuel rates could result in an annual savings of about 401 million gallons of fuel and an annual CO2 reduction of about 3.53 million metric tons. Using an average gasoline price of about $3.29 per gallon and an average CO2 clean-up cost of about $18 per metric ton, these differences would amount to a savings of about $1.38 billion per annum in the DFW region. The potential savings or costs in fuel consumed and the CO2 emissions generated can be substantial over the design life of a road project. It is therefore recommended that these savings or costs be considered in the life cycle cost analysis of alternative road construction projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper describes some features of the vehicle operating cost/road-roughness relationships reported in the major international research studies from 1972 to 1986. This research is characterized by the use of road-surface roughness devices, fleets of experimental vehicles to measure fuel consumption, large-scale surveys of vehicle operators, improvements to speed and fuel modeling, and the development of user-friendly economic evaluation models. All studies report significant effects on operating costs following changes in surface roughness. The issues of calibration, new vehicle technologies, and extrapolation of study results are then discussed. The paper concludes by characterizing the main features of the research studies and shows the rise in operating costs attendant on allowing surface conditions from deteriorating to high levels of roughness.
