Pollutant emissions, traffic dynamics, vehicle acceleration

The article presents the results of an analysis of the impact of vehicle (passenger car) acceleration dynamics on the emission values of gaseous exhaust components and particulate matter. This issue concerns the possibility of evaluating effects (pollutant emissions and fuel consumption) depending on the adopted method of vehicle acceleration. In the study, various variants of such an approach were adopted: vehicle acceleration was evaluated taking into account – on one hand – the minimization of fuel consumption, and on the other – the lowest emission of pollutants. An analysis was conducted covering different priorities in reducing exhaust components, supported by the technical possibilities of achieving them. The summary provides the results of the analysis, which concerned obtaining the best energy effects and the lowest environmental impact for different vehicle acceleration dynamics.
THE INFLUENCE OF THE ACCELERATION DYNAMICS OF THE CAR ON THE EXHAUST EMISSION
Abstract
The article presents the results of the analysis of the impact of acceleration dynamics of the car on the exhaust gaseous emissions and particulates. This issue concerns the possibility of effects valuation (exhaust emission and fuel consumption) depending on the adopted style of acceleration of the car. In the article were adopted different variants of such proceedings: the acceleration of the car was rated, taking into account – on the one hand – minimization of fuel consumption, on the second – the lowest emission of pollutants. An analysis which encloses different priorities in reducing exhaust components was carried out, supported by technical possibilities to fulfill them. The summary presents the results of the undertaken analysis, which involved to obtain the best energy effects and lowest environmental load of adopted patterns of acceleration dynamics of the car.
