Classifications of the Hybrid Electric Vehicles: The hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) are the special types of vehicles that make use of two things together‚ i.e. conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric propulsion system‚ which together help in achieving fuel efficiency as compared to any other vehicle. The degree of efficiency and improvement provided by the HEVs depend on the degree and the type of propulsion systems they make use of. The engineers have succeeded in adding

ABSTRACT: Vehicle navigation is one of the most important applications in the era of navigation which is mostly used by fleet owners. Therefore the efficiency of maps given to the fleet owners has a great importance in the navigation system. The proposed system is very efficient which uses the GPS and Google earth maps to help the fleet owners in navigation. This system continuously monitors the path of the vehicle on PC with Google Earth Application. The GPS-GSM integrated structure is designed

Hybrid Electric Vehicles The Dark Side John Orttenburger Lake Superior State University April 10‚ 2011 Abstract In the past decade‚ hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) have been making a big commotion with the innovative‚ gas saving technologies that accompany them. The illusion that HEVs are 100 percent environmentally friendly in all aspects also follows the HEV wave. Sadly the illusion often wins over unsuspecting customers the instant better gas mileage is offered. This review on the environmental

versions of the High Mobility‚ Multi-Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) have been in service. The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) is being developed by the Army and the Marine Corps as a successor to the HMMWV. The Department of Defense (DoD) initiated the JLTV program to replace its aging fleet of the HMMWV. The purpose of this essay is to determine if the high cost of the JLTV should preclude it from replacing the HMMWV as outlined in the 2010 Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Strategy. Because of the cost‚ an inability

Everyday millions of Americans venture out on the roads in their vehicles. Oftentimes it is very early in the morning‚ or late at night when it is dark and visibility is not always the best. Sometimes people drive along endless dark rural roads where animals are apt to cause panic. Most of the time motorists do not see these creatures until it is too late‚ and BAM! Animals like deer can walk into the road and straight out in front of a vehicle‚ and at that point there is nothing that can be done to prevent

Autonomous vehicles—commonly referred to as driverless cars—are an ever-growing part of the transportation landscape in the United States. With companies like Google and Tesla reporting that their autonomous vehicles have now safely driven millions of miles on American roads‚ it now seems inevitable that driverless cars will become a widely accepted means of transportation in coming decades. But will autonomous vehicles deliver the safety gains their engineers have promised‚ or will they simply

actions of others.”- This is the slogan for Defensive Driving. Vehicle accidents are most common if the driving is inadequate. These happen on most factors if the driver is drowsy or if he is alcoholic. Driver drowsiness is recognized as an important factor in the vehicle accidents. It was demonstrated that driving performance deteriorates with increased drowsiness with resulting crashes constituting more than 20% of all vehicle accidents. But the life lost once cannot be re-winded. Advanced technology

abundant thing in the universe? Hydrogen is the answer! Now with a little bit more refining it will be. Good morning fellow students today I will be talking about hydrogen powered vehicles. Firstly‚ some terms need definition.Hydrogen- a colourless‚ odourless‚ flammable gas which is the lightest and simplest of all known elements.Vehicle- A device or structure for transporting persons or things. Secondly‚ now to explain the ways to use hydrogen as a fuel. The first way is called electrolysis

Nano Aerial Vehicles and Micro Aerial Vehicles are primarily used for military applications which include Intelligence‚ Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR missions)‚ and used for both indoor and outdoor missions‚ which represents a challenging environment factor to overcome. The use of MAVs and NAVs reduce human risk as it does not require an on-board pilot for the mission‚ they also tend to improve the assessment of danger and have visibility in the dark when equipped with infrared cameras.
