Abstract

The paper has substantiated topicality of analysis of effect of traffic conditions of urban buses on the fuel economy and environmental safety. Papers, concerning the problems to determine fuel consumption and dynamic qualities of transportation vehicles, have been analyzed. It has been determined that distance between stops and bus fullness are the most important factors effecting fuel economy. Analytical model, making it possible to analyze effect of operation conditions on the formation of fuel consumption by urban buses, has been developed. Basing upon the analysis of passenger traffic flow in the context of route 34, fuel consumption for Bohdan А092 bus has been calculated for different traffic conditions. Experimental results, supporting adequacy of the analytical model, have been represented. Key-words: fuel consumption, distance between stops, traffic condition, analytical model, environmental safety.
