Seine ausgepragte Wirtschaftlichkeit und Zuverlassigkeit machen den Dieselmotor zum bevorzugten Antriebskonzept fur Nutzfahrzeuge. Dabei zieht sich der Name Bosch wie ein roter Faden durch die gesamte Entwicklungsgeschichte des Dieselmotors: Bereits in den ersten serienreifen Dieselfahrzeugen sorgten Reihenpumpen von Bosch fur eine zuverlassige Einspritzung. Im folgenden Beitrag wird die Funktionsweise der verschiedenen Diesel-Einspritzsysteme von Bosch beschrieben sowie deren Potenzial, die in Zukunft immer strenger werdenden Anforderungen in Bezug auf Abgasemissionen, Wirt- schaftlichkeit und Fahrverhalten zu erfullen. Entwicklungen in der Dieseleinspritztechnik Rudolf Diesel liess sich den Prozess einer selbstzundenden Verbrennung bereits vor mehr als 100 jahren patentieren. Ende 1922 begann bei Bosch die Entwicklung eines Einspritzsystems fur Dieselmotoren. Die technischen Voraussetzungen waren gunstig: Bosch verfugte uber Erfahrungen mit Verbrennungsmotoren, die Ferti- gungstechnik war hoch entwickelt und vor allem konnten Kenntnisse, die man bei der Fertigung von Schmierpumpen gesammelt hatte, eingesetzt werden. Dennoch war dies fur Bosch ein grosses Wagnis, da es viele Aufgaben zu loesen gab.

Transient Control of Gasoline Engines drives to move progress forward. A stimulating examination of car electronics and digital processing technology, this book chronicles significant advances that have occurred over the past 20 years (including the change from combustion engines to computerized machines) and presents new and exciting ways to enhance engine efficiency using real-time control technology. Dedicated to improving the emissions of automotive powertrains, it provides an introduction to modeling, control design, and test bench, and explains the fundamentals of modeling and control design for engine transient operation. It also presents a model-based transient control design methodology from the perspective of the dynamical system control theory. Written with graduate students in mind, this book: Addresses issues relevant to transient operation, cycle-to-cycle transient, and cylinder-to-cylinder balancing Examines the real-time optimizing control problem (receding horizon optimization, for torque tracking control and speed control) Covers three benchmark problems related to the modeling and control of gasoline engines: engine start control, identification of the engines, and the boundary modeling and extreme condition control Transient Control of Gasoline Engines describes the behavior of engine dynamics operated at transient mode as a dynamical system and employs the advanced control theory to design a real-time control strategy that can be used to improve efficiency and emission performance overall. Geared toward graduate students, this book also serves as a trusted source for researchers and practitioners focused on engine and engine electronics design, car electronics, and control engineering.

The story of America's first government-sponsored highway. The National Road was the first major improved highway in the United States built by the federal government. Built between 1811 and 1837, this 620-mile road connected the Potomac and Ohio Rivers and was the main avenue to the West. Roger Pickenpaugh's comprehensive account is based on detailed archival research into documents that few scholars have examined, including sources from the National Archives, and details the promotion, construction, and use of this crucially important thoroughfare.America's First Interstate looks at the road from the perspective of westward expansion, stagecoach travel, freight hauling, livestock herding, and politics of construction as the project goes through changing presidential administrations. Pickenpaugh also describes how states assumed control of the road once the US government chose to abandon it, including the charging of tolls. His data-mining approach—revealing technical details, contracting procedures, lawsuits, charges and countercharges, local accounts of travel, and services along the road—provides a wealth of information for scholars to more critically consider the cultural and historical context of the Road's construction and use. While most of America's First Interstate covers the early days during the era of stagecoach and wagon traffic, the story continues to the decline of the road as railroads became prominent, its rebirth as US Route 40 during the automobile age, and its status in the present day.

Thanks to advances in computer technology in the last twenty years, navigation system, cabin environment control, ACC, advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) and automated driving have become a part of the automobile experience. Improvement in technology enables us to design these with greater flexibility and provide greater value to the driver (human centered design). To achieve this, research is required by laboratories, automobile and auto parts manufacturers. Although there has been a lot of effort in human factors research and development, starting from basic research to product development, the knowledge and experience has not been integrated optimally. The aim of this book is to collect and review the information for researchers, designers and developers to learn and apply them for further research and development of human centered design of future automotive technologies. Automotive human factors include psychological, physiological, mathematical, engineering and even sociological aspects. This book offers valuable insights to applying the right approach in the right place.

Der Verkehr spielt in unserer industrialisierten Gesellschaft zweifellos eine wichtige Rolle. Wir verdanken ihm nicht nur unsere Bewegungsfreiheit, son- dern auch unseren Wohlstand. Seit einigen Jahren werden jedoch die Grenzen der Mobilitat angesichts kilometerlanger Staus und zunehmender Umwelt- probleme uniibersehbar. Daher blieb das Thema "Verkehr" nicht mehr eini- gen Verkehrsingenieuren vorbehalten, sondern es wurde zum gesellschaftlich relevanten Politikum und erlangte eine breite offentliche Aufmerksamkeit. Mittlerweile befassen sich mit ihm, auBer renommierten Fachzeitschriften, Massenmedien aller Art. Gleichzeitig hat das internationale Interesse an der Erforschung des Ver- kehrs enorm zugenommen. Besonders unter Physikern ist in jiingster Zeit ein starkes Engagement zu verzeichnen, was zu einer rasanten wissenschaftlichen Entwicklung und einer wahren Veroffentlichungsfiut gefiihrt hat.! Dafiir gibt es folgende Griinde: - Einerseits besteht ein dringender Bedarf an Methoden zur Optimierung des Verkehrsfiusses, urn die bestehende Infrastruktur effizienter nutzen zu konnen. Entsprechende Forschungsprojekte werden staatlich gefordert. - Andererseits verspricht man sich durch den Verkauf intelligenter Verkehrs- leitsysteme europaweit einen jahrlichen Umsatz von 200 Milliarden DM [434]. Das Engagement der Industrie ist folglich ausgesprochen groB. - AuBerdem ermoglichen moderne Computer mittlerweile umfangreiche Ver- kehrssimulationen, so daB eine Berechnung der Verkehrsstrome schneller als in Echtzeit in greifbare Nahe riickt, selbst fiir das Autobahnnetz der gesamten Bundesrepublik [35]. - SchlieBlich wirft die Verkehrsdynamik eine Vielzahl spannender Fragen auf, deren exakte wissenschaftliche Behandlung auBerst knifHig und eine Her- ausforderung an sich ist.

With the rise of shared and networked vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and other transportation technologies, technological change is outpacing urban planning and policy. Whether urban planners and policy makers like it or not, these transformations will in turn result in profound changes to streets, land use, and cities. But smarter transportation may not necessarily translate into greater sustainability or equity. There are clear opportunities to shape advances in transportation, and to harness them to reshape cities and improve the socio-economic health of cities and residents. There are opportunities to reduce collisions and improve access to healthcare for those who need it most-particularly high-cost, high-need individuals at the younger and older ends of the age spectrum. There is also potential to connect individuals to jobs and change the way cities organize space and optimize trips. To date, very little discussion has centered around the job and social implications of this technology. Further, policy dialogue on future transport has lagged-particularly in the arenas of sustainability and social justice. Little work has been done on decision-making in this high uncertainty environment-a deficiency that is concerning given that land use and transportation actions have long and lagging timelines. This is one of the first books to explore the impact that emerging transport technology is having on cities and their residents, and how policy is needed to shape the cities that we want to have in the future. The book contains a selection of contributions based on the most advanced empirical research, and case studies for how future transport can be harnessed to improve urban sustainability and justice.
