People’s ever-increasing needs encourage designers of various vehicles to search for solutions that will provide the most comfortable internal environment conditions. Currently, partly due to the COVID-19 threat, many people use their individual cars to travel to work, college, shops, trips, and holidays. Proper internal air parameters that need to be maintained in vehicles are critical in the sum-mer. The article discusses the thermal comfort of four passengers of a modern car produced in 2017to verify if contemporary production technology can successfully meet the thermal needs of people under actual conditions in the Polish climate. For this purpose, five temperature values were tested:20oC, 22oC, 24oC, 26oC, and 28oC for the car located in the shade and sun. In addition, the Testo 400meter was used to control and measure the internal parameters, and questionnaires were used to find out about the thermal impressions of the respondents. The research was carried out in July when the air temperature in Poland was high

Unexpected delay on freeways is the prime cause of dissatisfaction in road users. Increasing traffic, adverse environmental conditions, accidents, time, season, location and many more factors influence travel time and cause delay. There is no direct method to estimate delay. It is calculated from trip time estimates. Thus, it is a very big challenge for transportation professionals to develop a model that accurately estimates the trip time for a trip at a particular time, by a specific mode of transport. Subsequently, the reliability of the delay calculated from those trip time estimates is often doubtful. Further, the measurement of delay using the trip time data is another big thing. This paper is a step toward measuring the delay in an accurate way using travel time reliability measures. The study was conducted on the two modes of public transportation (City bus and Auto) in an urban corridor of length 16.3 km, in Hyderabad city, India. In this study, a license plate survey was conducted for data collection, travel time-based statistical analysis was employed for estimation of trip time and by making use of travel time measures, the delay was measured. The approach was validated graphically to portray its accuracy.

This paper presents a quick-and-dirty method to assess the risk of negative aeration effects occurring in twin-tube hydraulic shock absorbers used in passenger cars at the early design stage. The method is intended to be implemented as an engineering calculation tool based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) two-dimensional (2D)/three-dimensional (3D) steady-state single-phase model. The CFD model was previously validated with the use of the particle image velocimetry (PIV) experiment. The negative aeration effect is a wellknown issue for automotive and railway shock absorbers manufacturers. It results in uncontrolled on-vehicle vibrations and the deteriorated shock absorber damping characteristic. The major aeration contributor in twin-tube hydraulic shock absorbers is the sliding shim intake valve, which requires design optimization to avoid a negative aeration effect. The method validation was conducted with the customized test rig equipped with a transparent cylinder where the specific sliding intake valve was assembled. The proposed method also requires a lumped-parameter model of a twin-tube shock absorber, which allows to simulate boundary conditions in assessing particular reservoirs of a shock absorber, i.e., pressures and flow balance. The method is implemented as a calculation routine that converts CFD pressure regions into a gas concentration indicator (GCI) using the pressure-density characteristic of an oil-gas emulsion of a shock absorber. GCI is calculated based on the sum of particular 2D/3D grid elements. The method application is to minimize the risk of occurrence of negative aeration effects by avoiding expensive and time-consuming experimental tests. This method can also be used for in-production shock absorbers projects as a part of a continuous improvement cycle or in the case of inefficient shock absorbers claimed by a vehicle manufacturer. The application scope of the method can be extended for arbitrary twin-tube designs of shock absorbers in the automotive and railway industries.

W artykule omówiono proces projektowania innowacyjnej tymczasowej bariery ochronnej spełniającej wymagania normy EN 1317 i zapewniającej poziom bezpieczeństwa T1/W1. Proces projektowy wspomagany był przez analizy teoretyczne, modelowe, badania laboratoryjne i symulacyjne (MES). Symulacja numeryczna testów zderzeniowych dała zbliżone rezultaty co do długości kontaktu pojazdu podczas zderzenia, prędkości pojazdu po zderzeniu, deformacji bariery, rozkładu uszkodzeń oraz czasu uderzenia, do wartości uzyskanych w rzeczywistych testach zderzeniowych przeprowadzonych na specjalnym torze. Zachowanie systemu bariery podczas symulacji zderzenia w programie LS-DYNA zostało dobrze odwzorowane. Zaprojektowana bariera po rzeczywistych testach zderzeniowych uzyskała certyfikat potwierdzający wymagane dla danej kategorii barier parametry i została wdrożona do produkcji.

The stability and smoothness of rolling stock running could be defined accurately by universal Sperling's comfort index. The divergences of variation of Sperling's comfort index of a passenger car under specific operating conditions of running gear are examining in this paper. Numerical simulations of a passenger car running with independently rotating wheels under various conditions have been performing. Gained results showed that divergences of the Sperling's comfort index variation are particularly significant due to running gear component oscillations in the horizontal plane (lateral direction). A field experiment of a passenger car with a solid (traditional) wheelset with a flat running surface proved this hypothesis. The obtained results of this experiment confirmed this assumption. Therefore, the study of the regularities of lateral oscillations of a passenger car is the logical direction of further research.

Transport is one of the most burdensome negative sources affecting the natural environment. Long-term exposure of the body to exhaust pollution can cause health problems and, in the worst case, even lead to death. In addition to exhaust emissions, traffic noise is another equally important issue. Due to its nature, variability over time or the design diversity of vehicles in the traffic flow, it is a phenomenon difficult to define. Like exhaust pollution, it affects people's health and quality of life. In addition to its direct impact on the human physical system, it can also cause psychosomatic disorders, which is why a detailed analysis of road noise taking into account the real operation of the vehicle is so important. The paper presents the basic concepts related to the problem of traffic noise in the world, determines the sources of noise in vehicles and the methodology of conducting acoustic road tests. At the final stage of the scientific paper, methods of reducing excessive noise levels in large urban agglomerations were also presented, and the effectiveness of using noise barriers on selected parts of the city road network using proprietary acoustic tests was assessed.

In the future, the simultaneous reduction of pollutant and CO2 emissions will require significantly enhanced powertrain functionalities that cannot only be adequately represented by the ICE (internal combustion engine) alone. Both automated transmissions and especially powertrain electrification can help to meet efficiently those extended requirements. The extended functionalities are no longer applied exclusively with the ICE itself ("Fully Flexible Internal Combustion Engine"), but distributed across the entire powertrain ("Fully Flexible Powertrain"). In addition, the powertrain will be fully networked with the vehicle environment and thus will utilize all data that are useful for emission and consumption-optimized operation of the ICE. Combustion engine and electrification often complement each other in a synergetic way. This makes it extremely sensible for the combustion engine to evolve in future from a "single fighter" to a "team player". If one compares the requirements of such an ICE with the definition of Industry 4.0, then there are extensive correspondences. Thus, it seems quite opportune to call such a fully networked combustion engine designed to meet future needs as “Internal Combustion Engine 4.0 (ICE 4.0)”. This even more so, as such a name can also be derived from the history: e.g. ICE 1.0 describes the combustion engines of the first mass-produced vehicles, ICE 2.0 the combustion engines emission-optimized since the 1960s and ICE 3.0 the highly optimized "Fully Flexible Combustion Engine", which currently offers a high torque and performance potential combined with low fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. In addition to further improvements in fuel consumption, the "Combustion Engine 4.0" offers such a low level of pollutant emissions that can best be described as "Zero Impact Emission". This means that such future ICE´s will no longer have a negative impact on the imission situation in urban areas. With the e-fuels topic, the ICE also has the potential to become both CO2- and pollutant-neutral in the medium and long term. This means that the ICE - also in passenger cars - will continue to be an essential and necessary cornerstone for future powertrain portfolios for the next decades.

The aim of the article is to present the environmental effects of changes in material composition in selected internal combustion engines used in passenger cars using LCA analysis. The levels of energy consumption and emissions of pollutants related to material inputs occurring at the stage of engine production have been determined. The simplified LCA model presented in the paper shows the energy consumption and total CO2 and SO2 emissions on the basis of the mass of materials from which the engine is made. The research results presented in the paper give a picture of a modern passenger car engine on the basis of wear and the degree of recovery of materials used for its construction.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a comparative environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) of chosen internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs). It addresses an LCA of both petrol-fuelled and diesel-fuelled passenger cars. The analyses pertained to the carbon footprint and respiratory inorganics related to the cars in question, considered against the relevant system from cradle to grave. The comparative analysis has shown that the carbon footprint of a diesel-fuelled car is lower than that of a petrolfuelled car. However, the environmental indicators of respiratory inorganics induced by diesel-fuelled cars are higher than those attributable to petrol-fuelled cars. The main determinant of carbon footprint for the life cycle of these ICEVs is the direct atmospheric emission of carbon dioxide associated with their operation. The main determinants of respiratory inorganics for the diesel passenger cars’ life cycle are nitrogen oxide emission and car production. As for the life cycle of petrol-fuelled passenger cars, the largest share of the respiratory inorganics indicator is attributable to the car production and petrol production.

The article concentrates on road safety in Poland, which is one of the countries with a high number of fatalities in European Union. As the passenger cars are the mostly involved in traffic accidents with fatalities, this type of vehicles was analyzed to check relationship between age of the vehicle and its involvement in accidents with fatalities. This type of scientific analysis was made for the first time. For carrying out this research, a method of estimating passenger car fleet in motion in Poland was designed, as the official data were not updated and provided wrong information. The updated information on passenger car fleet when compared with that on the age of vehicles involved in road accidents with fatalities showed that the age of a vehicle has influence on the occurrence of road accidents in Poland. Presented data showed that the fact that people involved in accidents are at a higher risk of loss of life depends on the age of a vehicle. The data from analysis conducted between 2014 and 2015 showed that the risk of being killed increases with the age of the vehicle. Chances of the loss of life of people involved in accident participants are three times more in the case of more than 21 year old cars compared to 5 years old cars.

Transport of passengers is carried out essentially using two types of vehicles: classic trains composed of a locomotive pulling passenger wagons or traction units (or multiple units). Both new and modernized rail vehicles must be subjected to, among others, brake system tests when being placed into service. The purpose of such tests is to check the correct operation of the brake system and to determine the actual brake performance. The method of determining the passenger wagon brake performance differs from the similar method for the train set, although the braking performance of both types of vehicles is eventually presented in the form of two parameters: the value of brake mass B expressed in tons and the percentage of braked mass λ, i.e. the ratio of braked mass to vehicle total mass, expressed as a percentage. The values of B and λ determined from the tests describing the brake performance serve to assess the brake performance of the train in operation, while railway traffic safety relies significantly on the correct understanding of their nature and their use. Unfortunately, it was observed that individual carriers interpret these values in different ways and describe them in various ways on vehicles that are ultimately operated on the same infrastructure. The article presents a proposal of a new, original, unified and transparent method of describing brake performance for electric multiple units, as well as its interpretation and application in railway operations, developed in the Brakes Workshop of the Railway Institute.

Przewozy pasażerskie realizowane są z wykorzystaniem zasadniczo dwóch rodzajów pojazdów: klasycznych pociągów złożonych z lokomotywy i ciągniętych przez nią wagonów pasażerskich lub zespołów trakcyjnych (ewentualnie pociągów zespołowych). Zarówno nowe jak i modernizowane pojazdy szynowe w trakcie procesu dopuszczenia do eksploatacji muszą zostać poddane m.in. badaniom układu hamulcowego. Celem takich badań jest sprawdzenie poprawności działania tego układu oraz wyznaczenie rzeczywistej skuteczności hamulca. Metoda wyznaczenia skuteczności hamulca wagonu pasażerskiego różni się od analogicznej metody dla zespołu trakcyjnego, mimo iż ostatecznie skuteczność hamulca obu rodzajów pojazdów przedstawiana jest w postaci dwóch parametrów: wyrażanej w tonach wartości masy hamującej B i procentu masy hamującej λ, czyli stosunku masy hamującej do masy pojazdu, wyrażonego w procentach. Wyznaczone w rezultacie badań wartości B i λ opisujące skuteczność hamulca służą w trakcie eksploatacji pojazdów ocenie skuteczności hamulca pociągu, a właściwe zrozumienie ich istoty i prawidłowy sposób posługiwania się nimi mają decydujące znaczenie dla bezpieczeństwa ruchu kolejowego. Niestety zaobserwowano, że poszczególni przewoźnicy na różny sposób interpretują te wartości i w różny sposób opisują je na pojazdach, które ostatecznie eksploatowane są na tej samej infrastrukturW artykule przedstawiono opracowaną w Pracowni Hamulców Instytutu Kolejnictwa propozycję nowego, oryginalnego, ujednoliconego i przejrzystego sposobu opisywania skuteczności hamulca na elektrycznych zespołach trakcyjnych oraz jej interpretacji i stosowania w praktyce kolejowej.

The subject of this article is a comparative analysis of exhaust emissions for: HC (hydrocarbons), CO (carbon monoxide), CO2 (carbon dioxide), NOx (nitrogen oxides) from a passenger vehicle and a motorcycle in laboratory conditions on a dynamometer station. The first vehicle category was represented by a compression-ignition engine with a displacement volume of 1.3 dm3 and a power of 66 kW. The exhaust aftertreatment system included a catalytic converter and a particulate filter. The second category was a motorcycle, equipped with an engine with a displacement of 0.7 dm3 and a maximum power of 55 kW. The two-wheeled vehicle was equipped with a three-way catalytic converter. Speeds were modeled on the European type approval test - NEDC (New European Driving Cycle). In order to conduct a comparative analysis of exhaust emissions and fuel consumption from vehicles of different categories, the obtained results were presented in the form of emissions converted into passenger-kilometers (g/pkm). The research used modern equipment belonging to the PEMS (Portable Emissions Measurement Systems) group of devices. The analyzes carried out enable the decision making on which vehicles have a greater environmental impact due to their exhaust emissions, taking into account the distance and the number of passengers carried.

W pracy przedstawiono optymalizację ruchu samochodu osobowego podczas jazdy po nawierzchni o zmiennej przyczepności. Model matematyczny pojazdu sformułowano, korzystając w zapisie z transformacji jednorodnych i współrzędnych złączowych. W procesie optymalizacji dobierano przebieg momentów hamujących działających na poszczególne koła pojazdu tak, aby zapewnić utrzymanie się pojazdu w szerokości jezdni. Do rozwiązania zadania optymalizacji zastosowano metody ewolucyjne takie jak: Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) oraz Particle Swarm Evolver (PSE). Metody te, w odróżnieniu od klasycznych metod optymalizacji, umożliwiają znajdowanie rozwiązań globalnie optymalnych. W pracy przedstawiono wnioski z uzyskanych wyników oraz zastosowanych metod optymalizacji.

A number of vehicle users pay attention to the impact of changes in the car body geometry during long-term use on the safety level. However, this issue has not been properly dealt with in research studies. The aim of this study was to identify changes in the floor panel, to develop a model to forecast the geometry during the car use and to identify the points which undergo the maximum displacement. The paper presents the effect of the car mileage on the floor panel condition, taking into account variable environmental factors. In the course of the study, the position of points fixing the front suspension, front bench and rear suspension was determined, as was the position of points situated on parts of the load bearing structure of the car body. The results were used to develop a model for forecasting changes of the floor panel geometry during car use. The probability of changes in the floor panel geometry was found to increase with the mileage. The probability of reaching the maximum permissible geometric changes (3 mm) in a floor panel is accurately described by the probabilistic model in the form of the Rayleigh distribution. Diverse models of the floor panel geometry changes were obtained depending on the environmental conditions and type of the base points under analysis.

Wielu użytkowników samochodów osobowych zwraca uwagę na istotność wpływu na poziom bezpieczeństwa zmian geometrii nadwozia pojazdów podczas ich wieloletniej eksploatacji. Jednak dotychczas zagadnienie to nie znalazło odpowiedniego odzwierciedlenia w literaturze. Celem pracy była identyfikacja zmian geometrii płyty podłogowej, opracowanie modelu prognozującego stan geometrii w toku eksploatacji i zidentyfikowanie punktów ulegającym największym przemieszczeniom. W pracy przedstawiono wpływ przebiegu pojazdu na stan geometrii płyty podłogowej z uwzględnieniem zróżnicowanych warunków środowiskowych. Podczas badań określano położenie punktów mocujących zawieszenie przednie, przednią ławę i zawieszenie tylne oraz położenie punktów znajdujących się na elementach struktury nośnej nadwozia. Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników opracowano model prognozowania zmian geometrii płyty podłogowej w toku eksploatacji. Stwierdzono, że prawdopodobieństwo zmian geometrii płyty podłogowej podczas eksploatacji rośnie w czasie, wraz ze wzrostem przebiegu. Prawdopodobieństwo osiągnięcia stanu dopuszczalnego (3 mm) zmian geometrycznych na płycie podłogowej dobrze opisuje model probabilistyczny w postaci rozkładu Rayleigha. Uzyskano zróżnicowane modele zmiany geometrii płyty podłogowej w zależności od warunków środowiskowych oraz rodzaju analizowanych punktów bazowych.
