According to iSuppli Corporation, the U.S. government issued new requirements to improve vehicle fuel efficiency standards, glue stick these standards are driving automotive manufacturers to use a variety of environmental remote information and communication technologies to improve vehicle fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions.
U.S. government recently issued a regulation to require vehicle manufacturers in 2011,glue gun the light vehicle fuel economy standards to 27.3 miles per gallon, compared with the requirements of the 2010 model year increased by 8%. New cars must meet the 30.2 miles per gallon (MPG), and light trucks must meet 24.1MPG.
According to U.S. government estimates the new standards will save 887 million gallons of fuel and reduce 8.3 million metric tons of carbon emissions. Car manufacturers to use the extra costs of fuel-efficient technologies is estimated at 1.46 billion. Environmental control technology relies on computer-based system, monitor, advise or control the driver or vehicle to reduce fuel consumption and reduce emissions. Environmental protection technology embedded in the electrical structure of any vehicle, using a variety of sensors throughout the car to drive and control systems.
Environmental benefits of environmental protection Telematics
Environmental Telematics is one of the major automotive environmental technology, the system including the current and future vehicle being used for all remote information and communication technologies, including wireless communications, positioning technology and human-machine interface (HMI).
Remote information and communication environment for the drivers to provide a tool to monitor their driving habits, it was warmly welcomed by consumers. Environmental remote information and communication but also other transparent but the driver technology used to improve vehicle efficiency. Although fuel prices have hit the peak of last fall down, but consumers pay more attention to fuel this trend from the early 70s of last century during the oil embargo began.
For automotive OEM manufacturers, environmental protection telematics can help meet stringent fuel efficiency and emission standards. More stringent provisions for the automotive industry faces pressure to invest in to improve vehicle efficiency and lower emissions technologies.
Passive and active systems
Passive environmental remote information and communication systems strongly advise drivers to change or adjust the driving style or habits. These solutions are most common in the mixed fuel electric vehicles, but is spreading rapidly to all the automotive sector. The most common examples are the instrument panel above the throttle input or shift lights. The system relies on more advanced navigation systems to calculate the route with less fuel consumption. These solutions are passive, and only the driver to adjust driving style to save fuel under the circumstances.
Remote information and communication technology initiative of environmental protection, or the electrical system through the powertrain management to actively manage energy consumption. These systems are usually transparent to the driver. Often used in advanced powertrain solutions and real-time adjustments to optimize fuel consumption. Active telematics solutions may also be dependent on the navigation control optimization of resources to achieve transportation. These systems are active, because they do not require input from the driver.
Environmental telematics applications.
Application of remote information and communication environment can be divided into three categories: monitoring, recommendations and powertrain.
Environmental monitoring applications first appeared in the market, some applications already exist, limited embedded into a car trip computers. They are usually monitoring fuel consumption and mileage information, but its function will be extended to active energy management, the use of remote information and communication devices acting on the electrical system.
Green proposals to provide route guidance based applications and / or driver input solutions. The first application is built around the navigation system, route-based fuel production.
Environmental powertrain applications has existed for years, used to improve fuel consumption. For direct injection, electronic valve control and engine management advanced cylinder deactivation to improve the efficiency of the internal combustion engine. iSuppli predicts that, through the use of remote information and communication technology, this area will have greater development. Communication in the assembly of telematics is an important application area is remote diagnostics, and to wirelessly back to the ignition module is the ability of the powertrain.
Fuel efficiency, a factor often overlooked is that information on entertainment, including a variety of electrical systems, including increasing electricity demand growth led to the car. The electrical system can add up to 2,500 watts of electrical load. Infotainment system suppliers have taken measures to introduce a Class D amplifier and other low-power components.
The efficiency of the car depends on many factors, some factors for a better understanding of people, but some are not very understanding. There are many claims can improve vehicle efficiency, but many of the program is only a speculation, may be controversial.
Major environmental telematics services include:
* Traffic management systems.
* Green route.
* Driving recommendations.
* Engine management.
* Transportation planning control.
* Cylinder deactivation.
* Intelligent adaptive cruise.
The long term, when the remote information and communication into the powertrain, the environmental remote information and communication will become an important tool for OEM manufacturers. Some time away from this prospect, OEM manufacturer to the vehicle is still in the early stages of establishing connectivity. But in the end telematics will enable OEM manufacturers to monitor, improve and update the final performance of power control module assembly.
