Passenger car fuel economy: Insights from big data analytics
Abstract: The increasing availability of real-world vehicle telematics through On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD-II) systems has enabled data-driven evaluation of passenger car fuel economy beyond conventional laboratory-based test cycles. While standardized certification procedures ensure repeatability, they often fail to capture the influence of real-world traffic conditions, driver behaviour, and transient vehicle operation. This study presents a structured Big Data Analytics (BDA) approach for analysing high-frequency OBD-II data collected from a gasoline passenger …

Applications of Carbon Dioxide Emissions Calculations in the Operation of Public Passenger Transport Systems
Abstract: This paper aims to analyze emissions from public passenger transport systems, metros and buses, compared with private cars, establishing calculating these emissions. The calculations were applied in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The results obtained indicate that the electric trains of the system had an average emission of 4.5 g of carbon dioxide (CO2) per passenger-kilometer, a result 10 times lower than the emission of buses, which in …

Metro Systems' Role in Reducing CO2 Emissions in Urban Transport
Abstract: To better understand the impact of metro systems on reducing CO2 emissions in urban transport, a detailed analysis is required. This analysis should evaluate both the direct and broader effects of metro networks on the overall urban transportation system. It is crucial to quantify the actual contribution of metro systems in cutting CO2 emissions by considering the entire transport network. The evaluation should include not only the emissions generated by …
