Abstract

Conveyance through an automobile has become necessity in today’s life. With millions of automobiles on road with its number ever -increasing, it not only serves purpose of transporting passengers and goods, but it has added the problems of noise and environment pollution. Owing to alarming air quality in the big cities, the authority enforces stringent emission norms. In addition, higher fuel economy standards compel automobile manufacturers to introduce costly engine technology. Energy loss during braking is considered as a major cause of the reduced fuel economy. Automobiles driven under conditions like frequent stops, long idling time, low average speed and high part load operation are experiencing low fuel economy. City bus, school bus, garbage truck, school van, shuttle rickshaw etc. are major players of similar operating conditions. Hence, it is important to estimate kinetic energy loss during braking and develop systems to harness the energy loss. The research work is oriented to estimate brake energy regeneration potential for school vans running in Vadodara city. Results show that brake energy regeneration potential of the school van is 2015 kJ during trip of approximate 10.15 km.
