Title: Experimental study on transport modes of heavy trucks Keywords: fuel consumption, road condition, green transport, trucks Abstract: In the present work, a methodology has been developed that allows the study of some parameters of heavy truck traffic. The study uses typical road sections of the suburban road network in which they are determined by average speeds, average fuel consumption and their impact on environmental performance. Specifically, the study was performed on road infrastructure outside the settlements in Bulgaria. In the study, a road infrastructure is divided into three main groups – road infrastructure with roads of the first and second category, as well as highway ones. The research also takes into account the operation of the truck in overcoming both positive and negative slopes. An experimental study was performed for the three types of sections. For them, the speeds of movement in typical time zones, fuel consumption, the speed of the exhaust gases and environmental indicators were measured. The work also looks for the corresponding ratios of the measured parameters for the different routes. References Issue
