Coach Diesel¤
Intercity Coach Bus Description¤
The Intercity Coach Bus is designed for high-capacity, long-distance passenger transportation, providing a crucial link between cities with a focus on comfort and efficiency.
Intercity Coach Bus Performance Metrics¤
- Capacity: It is equipped to carry 15 or more passengers.
- Annual Distance (dannual): The coach operates over an impressive annual distance of 140,000 km.
- Average Occupancy Rate (nlpv): With an average occupancy of 40 passengers per vehicle.
- Capacity Factor: Assuming a 20% capacity utilization.
- Reference Capacity: Consequently, a reference capacity of 3,196.35 passenger-kilometers per hour (pkm/h) is calculated.
The reference capacity is computed using the formula:
Where cp represents the capacity utilization percentage. This calculation takes into account the annual distance covered, the average number of passengers, and the capacity utilization factor to provide a clear picture of the Intercity Coach Bus’s performance and contribution to public transport infrastructure.
Diesel¤
An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a type of heat engine where fuel combustion takes place inside a chamber. This causes an increase in temperature and pressure. This pressure is then applied directly to pistons, rotors or a nozzle, which converts the thermal energy of combustion into mechanical energy to move the vehicle. However, this combustion generates numerous substances with potential impacts on human health and the environment, including :
-
Carbon Dioxide (CO2): a GHG contributing to climate change and ocean acidification.
-
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx): precursors to the formation of photochemical ozone (smog), which promotes respiratory problems, and causes, among other things, the acidification of terrestrial and aquatic environments and the eutrophication of the marine environment.
-
Particle Matter (PM): potentially causing respiratory problems when inhaled.
-
Carbon Monoxide (CO): considered toxic to humans and animals.
Diesel engines, which also run on biodiesel and synthetic fuels, do not require spark plugs but rely on fuel vapour compression to trigger combustion.
Diesel fuel has an LHV of 11.83 [kWh/kg], making it a common choice for heavy-duty transportation due to its high energy density and efficiency.
