Recently, the studies in the automotive sector has concentrated
on hybrid electric vehicle. The better results in fuel economy and vehicle
performance values have been achieved with the hybrid electric vehicle
technology. In this study, the fuel consumption and vehicle performance values are
compared to the series and parallel hybrid electric modes of a conventional
street sweeper by using AVL Cruise. Nowadays, there are many driving cycles
used in the analysis of fuel consumption and vehicle performans. However the
current driving cycles are not appropriate for the vehicles designed for a
particular function (carrying, lifting, sweeping etc.) such as street sweepers
in terms of velocity and functionality. For this reason, a driving cycle was
constructed by taking into consideration the daily tasks of the street sweepers
with the help of AVL Cruise. The series and parallel hybrid electric
configurations of the street sweeper were analyzed separately. Consequently,
the demanded power (kW) from the internal combustion engine and its fuel
consumption (L/h) were investiageted under the specific operating conditions in
the driving cycle. The simulations show that the series hybrid mode has better
fuel economy and vehicle performance.
