Logistics and Efficiency

Simulate 3 Casualty Events; Current vs. Existing

Scenario 1
30 miles Longest range event

Scenario 2
10 miles Mid range event

Scenario 3
2 miles Close range event

Time Efficiency
Time saved/increased at each stage of the casualty event Associated cost increase from saving that time

Drive Cycle
Scenario 3 with red lights

Scenario 3 with green lights

Matlab Analysis
Input data
Distance = 30miles = 48,280m Starting acceleration ao= 2.29m/s2
Mercedes sprinter van 2013 0 to 60 in 11.7 seconds giving average acc of 5.13 mph/s

t=0 a= ao V= at D = Vt

Mercedes sprinter average mpg = 17.4

30 miles requires 7.85 litres of diesel

New vehicle requires an average power consumption of 0.2kWH/km

30 miles requires 9.66 kWh

Cost of power

Matlab Analysis
Iteration process

t = 0, V = at = 0 , a = 2.29, D = Vt = 0m; t = 1, V = at = 2.29 , a = 2.10 , D = Vt = 2.29m; t = 2, V = at = 4.20 , a = 1.90 , D = Vt = 7.98m; Do until D >/= Distance (48,280m)
journey time = t average power consumption =... carbon emissions from journey = ...

Output
Efficiency
E.g. if the current vehicle has consumed 7.85 litres of diesel for a 30 mile journey a conversion factor of 2.6008 ( Carbon Trust ) can be applied to give 20.41 kgCO2 If the vehicle will use 9.66kWh of grid electricity to charge up for 30 mile journey than a conversion factor of 0.44548 (Carbon trust) would give 4.30 kgCO2 ( +79% ) 7.85 litres of diesel = 84.15 KWh (+88%) 20% improvement in time could save more lives
