An Integrated 20-kW Motor Drive and Isolated Battery Charger for Plug-In Vehicles

IEEE transactions on power electronics, 2013
For vehicles using grid power to charge the battery, traction circuit components are not normally engaged during the charging time, so there is a possibility to use them in the charger circuit to have an on-board integrated motor drive and battery ...

A Department of Motor Vehicles Intervention Yields Moderate Increases in Donor Designation Rates

Progress in transplantation, 2012
Context— Nearly all persons (37% of public) who have a joined an organ donor registry in the United States have done so through their Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office, which is an underused venue for organ donation campaigns.

Global emission of black carbon from motor vehicles from 1960 to 2006.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2012
Black carbon (BC) is a key short-lived climate change forcer. Motor vehicles are important sources of BC in the environment. BC emission factors (EF(BC)), defined as BC emitted per mass of fuel consumed, are critical in the development of BC emission ...

Motor Vehicle Emissions Variability

Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, 1996
Test-to-test variability has been observed by many current testing methods, including the Federal Test Procedure, the IM240 dynamometer test, the idle test common to many Inspection and Maintenance programs, and on-road remote sensing. The variability is attributable to the vehicle, not to the testing procedure.

Electrified Motor-Vehicles

Nature, 1939
WHILE to experience an electric shock from a motor-vehicle appears from a recent note to be unusual in England1, it is so common in the United States as to call for no comment. An interesting consequence of this phenomenon is to be seen on the San Francisco-Oakland and Golden Gate Bridges, where thousands of cars a day pass the toll gates and where the

Lateral Placement of Motor Vehicles When Passing Bicyclists

, 2012
This study assessed the lateral placement of motor vehicles as they passed bicyclists, with a focus on the influence of centerline rumble strips. Driver behavioral data were collected through field studies on two segments of a high-speed (55-mph speed ...

Sensorless Induction Motor Drive Using Indirect Vector Controller and Sliding-Mode Observer for Electric Vehicles

IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, 2013
This paper presents a sensorless control system for an electric-vehicle (EV) induction-motor (IM) drive embedded with an indirect vector controller and a fixed-boundary-layer sliding-mode (FBLSM) observer.

Measurement of emissions from air pollution sources. 5. C1-C32 organic compounds from gasoline-powered motor vehicles.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2002
Gas- and particle-phase organic compounds present in the tailpipe emissions from an in-use fleet of gasoline-powered automobiles and light-duty trucks were quantified using a two-stage dilution source sampling system. The vehicles were driven through the

Motor Vehicles for Teenagers

Pediatrics, 2001
To the Editor. Most parents have concerns for the safety of their teenage children as they approach the age of 16 years and the prospect of driving a car. Several factors play a role in the risk of death and injury from vehicle crashes for teen drivers, including the experience, maturity, and ability of the driver, as well as the safety of the ...
