Vnukova N. Science-methodological principles of ecological safety of the complex automobile-road-environment

The research object is the ecological safety of the complex of Automobile - Road - Environment (ARE). The aim is to develop theoretical and methodological fundamentals in order to enhancethe ecological safety of roads and vehicles; to improve environment in roadside area. The research methods are systems analysis, the methods of mathematical statistics and the theory of stochastic processes, modeling, design-theoretical and experimental methods when using advanced gas-analysis and regime metricsequipment, gas chromatography, numerical analysis and differentialthermal analysis. The theoretical and practical results: the practical importance is to provide factorological material to develop methods and conduct analytical estimation thatare necessary to develop economy-based and ecology-based proposals in terms of diversification of fuel and energy resourcesfor the motor transport industry. The novelty of research is to develop the theoretical and methodological fundamentals of the ecological safety of the complex of ARE. The cause-effect interaction of the mutually stipulated changes of ecosystem at roadside area under influence of negative factors, which are conditioned by the functioning of the system ARE, are scientifically substantiated. The theoretical fundamentals of the ecological safety of the system ARE as a new scientific fieldin the ecological safety of regional territorial agglomerations are developed. The proposals to reduce risks of harmful influence on environment and a human are made. The use of renewable energy-saving resources to produce hydrogen and charge the batteries of motor vehicles is substantiated. New technological solutions to put into practice the program of the creation of a hydrogen ecoinfrastructure are proposed. A complex methodology for the integral estimation of internal combustion engine ecological and chemical dangersis developed, taking onto account the total cancerogenity of discharge gases. Substantiation of rational methods to improve their operational fuel efficiency and ecological safety is made. The methodology of technological process exergic analysis to ensure transportation when using various kinds of fuel is developed. The mathematical model of the consumption of fuel-energy and material resources by integrated systems of ARE is developed. The research results are incorporated into: the mathematical model of the consumption of fuel-energy and material resources by integrated systems of ARE atPodgorny Institute for Mechanical Engineering Problems; the standardization of the ecological safety of the ARE system in the State Department of Environmental Protection in Kharkiv region;the complex methodology for the integral estimation of ecochemical internal combustion engine hazards in the public joint-stock company Sergo Ordzhonikidze Kharkiv Tractor Plant.
