Consumption Prediction

Vehicle fuel consumption is one of the most important operational characteristics of road vehicles. The fuel consumption can be determined by different methods under laboratory conditions or by carrying out drive tests. One of the possibilities to quantify a way of vehicle driving is to analyse the selected parameters of the fuel mixture electronic control system. The objective of the paper is to predict fuel consumption via parameters of throttle position and engine speed. The measurement was carried out in the laboratory of the Department of Road and Urban Transport by using a MAHA roller dynamometer. The result is an estimation of accuracy of such fuel consumption determination and its possible utilisation for a system of assessing the vehicle driving style of drivers.

Operation Cost

In order to convert the high pressure common rail system engine to CNG/Diesel dual fuel engine, an electronically controlled system is developed. The system includes a CNG fuel supply system, the CNG electronic control unit (ECU) and its matching harness etc. During starting and idle load conditions, the engine runs under pure diesel mode, when the speed and load reached a certain set point, the diesel ECU reduces the pilot diesel quantity, meanwhile, the CNG ECU increases the natural gas quantity, then the engine runs under dual fuel mode. The engine experiment data show that in different conditions, the highest substitution rate is 90% and the average substitution rate is 83%; the average savings ratio of operation cost per hour is 26%.

Predetermined Time

With progress in internal combustion engine fuel economy, variable cylinder systems have attracted attention. We measured fuel consumption in cylinder cutoff by stopping the injector alone, collected data changing the location and number of cutoff cylinders and when varying the cutoff cylinder, and compared the difference in fuel cost reduction. A transistor is inserted serially into the injector control circuit of the electronic control unit (ECU). By controlling the transistor via microcomputer, the injector is turned on or off independently from ECU control in obtain cylinder cutoff. The amount of fuel consumption is measured using enhancement mode of a failure diagnostic device based on the OBD II standard to collect injection time and rotational speed of the injector for a predetermined time and calculated based on this data. We confirmed that by stopping the injector alone, fuel consumption was reduced 6 to 22% and is reduced when the cutoff cylinder is varied.

Abstract Nowadays global engine construction gets significant progress at a technological level, but specified manufacturers do not release any information about the composition, the structure of the algorithms and the software used by their equipment. It is possible to obtain information only fragmentary and, for example, the description of the electronic control unit algorithm is completely missing. This is a barrier for small companies to improve and adjust existing engines for specific purposes. The present paper describes and develops algorithm synthesis for an electronic diesel engine regulator. Mathe-matical modelling of the automatic control system has been carried out within the framework of the research. The results of the research have demonstrated the efficiency and sustainability of automatic electronic control system using the proposed algorithm.

The use of a fuel mixture of gasoline and ethanol can reduce the PM2.5 (Particulate Matter) value in the air by 0.3-0.4 µg m-3. This research aims to see the performance of a 4-stroke engine 113cc in standard conditions using a mixture of premium and ethanol. This research learns 5 types of mixture, E0, E10, E15, E20, and E25. The fuels was tested at 5 engine speed 4000, 4500, 5000, 5500, and 6000 rpm, at prony brake dynamometer to measuring performance, fuel consumption and Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC). The results of research show that the highest torque and power is the E15 mixture, that is 8.90 Nm at 5500 rpm and the power obtained is 5.529 kW at 6000 rpm. Meanwhile, the lowest fuel consumption value is found in the E10 with a value of 169.78 gr/hour at 4500 rpm. The lowest SFC value of all fuels is the E15 at 5000 rpm on 27.565 gr/kW.h. This is the lowest of any other fuel, because the  Research Octane Number value is following the compression ratio of the engine, so there is no delay in ignition symptoms that occur during the combustion system. The viscosity value also contributes to the difference in data.

Abstract. A solid set canopy delivery system (SSCDS) has the potential to be an efficient spraying technique because it minimizes chemical drift and allows timely spray applications even under adverse field conditions. A conventional SSCDS, working as a hydraulic spraying system, is controlled manually. Such operation makes it labor and time intensive for spray application in larger orchards. Therefore, a new hardware and software design was implemented in this project for field-level automation of a conventional SSCDS. An electronic control system (ECS) and a spray control unit (SCU) were developed and integrated with an improvised conventional SSCDS. A graphical user interface (GUI) was developed to provide user inputs to the ECS for valve actuation-based decision making. The SCU consisted of a microcontroller, a relay board, and a radio frequency (RF) module assisting in actuation of the solenoid valves in the desired sequence with commands from the ECS. Integrated RF trans-receiver modules facilitated closed-loop wireless communication between the ECS and SCU. This technical note elaborates on the successful integration of the hardware and software to achieve SSCDS automation and functionality, as well as the performance evaluation in a vineyard. The results confirmed the envisioned triggering sequence and solenoid valve actuation for different operating stages of the SSCDS over 120 m loop length. Moreover, the automated SSCDS had no significant differences in spray volume or pressure along the loop up to 82 m. Overall, the proposed integration will aid in automating SSCDS-based spray operation for larger orchards. To validate such a setup, further studies are planned for a centrally located control station and spraying several adjacent plots at a time.

In the developing countries, the identification of Faulty Vehicle’s by the enforcing authorities within a stipulated time is a challenging task. Hit and run accident vehicles, traffic-rule violators, theft vehicles, escaping an accused in a vehicle and nonpayment of tax vehicles etc., are called as faulty vehicles. In the existing Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), only the vehicles are being monitored, instead of catching the faulty vehicle. In this methodology, the vehicles are controlled from the control room itself within stipulated time duration by controlling the fuel mixture. The concept involves minimization or stoppage of fuel mixture to that particular vehicle (three-wheeler Auto and four-wheeler Maruthi 800), depending upon its location (GPS) and the traffic environment; by using the specially designed electronic control unit (ECU) and with the help of a network provider (GSM). The entire concept is explained in this paper with the help of block diagram and photographs. From this investigation it’s observed that the vehicle could be stopped and it can be caught by the enforcing authority for necessary action.
