tailieunhanh - Urban Transport and Hybrid Vehicles

Urban transport system is crucial for economic and social development of our society as it meets challenging mobility requirements of urban agglomerations. The requirements are challenging because road transport, which is the most problematic transport mode, is dominating the urban transport activities. The main problems with the road transport are that the infrastructure is not generally suffi cient for whole traffi c conditions and the vehicles are powered by internal combustion engines that require fossil fuels to burn and emit pollutant emissions during their normal operations | Urban Transport and Hybrid Vehicles edited by Seref Soylu SCIYO Urban Transport and Hybrid Vehicles Edited by Seref Soylu Published by Sciyo Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2010 Sciyo All chapters are Open Access articles distributed under the Creative Commons Non Commercial Share Alike Attribution license which permits to copy distribute transmit and adapt the work in any medium so long as the original work is properly cited.
