Is it more economic to idle a diesel than turn it off and restart it again?
I read a report maybe ten - fifteen years ago about an experiment conducted by Mercedes-Benz on heavy-duty truck Diesel engines. They found that switching the engines off and back on again thirty times per minute - i.e., about as fast as it is possible to do - used less fuel than leaving the engines idling for the same minute. This would seem to answer this question! But I cannot find the original source document. Can anyone else help?
How does traffic light synchronization improve air quality?
Cars emit the most pollutants when accelerating. If the lights are synchronized to allow the heaviest flow of traffic to move without stopping and starting the need for acceleration is minimized and pollution reduced. An added benefit is that, since cars also emit more pollution when idling, unless they turn off their engines, allowing more cars to travel in their most efficient engine speed range is enhanced by light sychronization.
