INL Mission Support Services

Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has a strong focus on engineering and applied science. This focus has been used over the past 65 years to help reduce risks associated with research, design, development and deployment of new concepts of national importance. With this legacy in mind, INL’s Mission Support Services Division is driven to deploy more than $150 million of transportation-related federal assets in partnership with industry and academia to ensure the United States’ energy security and improve the safety and reliability of America’s transportation infrastructure.

INL Fossil Fuel Reduction Timeline

2008 - Introduced B20 into fleet fueling in spring of 2008. Reduced to B10 during winter season due to fuel gelling.

2009 – Expanded use of biodiesel and E85. Fossil fuel reductions resulted in winning the 2010 “Lean, Clean, and Green” Presidential

GreenGov

award.

2011 - Began collaborating with additive vendors to develop solution to fuel gelling issues in sub-zero conditions and fuel tank algae growth issues during warmer weather. Implemented idle reduction campaign and began Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) on prompting driver behavior.

2012 –Solved gelling and algae issues and began operating with B20 year round. Began LDRD “Driver Behavior Simulation” testing.

2013 – Completed LDRD effort and converted three INL buses to dual-fuel (Natural Gas and Biodiesel) becoming the first fleet to:

convert a full size motor coach,

convert vehicle with an automatic transmission,

use biodiesel as base fuel (essentially a “tri-fuel” conversion)

2014 – Developed concept of “INL Transportation Test Bed” to pursue further industry collaboration in areas of fossil fuel reduction and transportation safety.Slide6

INL Dual-Fuel Conversions

In FY13, INL’s Mission Support Services initiated a project to investigate the feasibility of converting part or all of its bus fleet to dual-fuel (LNG-Biodiesel).

Installed APG LNG conversion kits on three MCI coaches owned by INL.

Additional six kits were purchased in April 2014. Installation scheduled in May.

Six months of dual-fuel operations have resulted in a consistent 50% reduction in fossil fuel use for converted buses. Currently working with transmission manufacturer to further improve fuel economy.Slide7

Unique INL Transportation Test Range Assets

Fleet of over 70 motor coaches, 400 light duty vehicles, including electric vehicles, and over 600 pieces of heavy equipment

Controlled access highway

Master technicians and professional drivers

Human factors integration with ongoing efforts

DOE test range – third party Federal Agency

Capability to collect, analyze, and report on very large quantities of data (EV testing)

Large cyber security group

Industry partners – Motor Coach International, Bergstrom, Savari, Denso, Castle Rock, VaisalaSlide9

Advanced Vehicle Testing Experience

Since 1994, INL staff have benchmarked plug in electric vehicles in field operations (via data loggers), closed test tracks and dynamometers

INL has accumulated 232 million miles (373 million km) and 44,300 AC

MWh

from 27,400 electric drive vehicles and 17,000 charging units

Example: EV Project

8,228 Leafs, Volts and Smarts,

124 million test miles.

At one point, 1 million test miles every 5 days

12,363 EVSE and DCFC

4.2 million charge eventsSlide10

manual distraction (hands off the wheel) associated with system generated messages and changes in driving roles

Competing stimuli from wireless communication have the potential to create greater driver workloadNeed exists to:Reduce complexityMonitor driver attention

Develop metrics for distraction mitigation

Overall INL CV PerspectiveImprove INL site safety and

efficiency

Facilitate

trusted applications and transactions between

drivers

and fixed and mobile wireless systems.

Provide a real world operational test bed including supporting vehicles and infrastructure to support CV and autonomous vehicle e

Meet requirements for safety and efficiency.Slide14

INL Human Factors in Support of Connected Vehicle Research

Design Support – Capture functional, behavioral, and information perspectives for

travelers, test scenarios, and

test different display concepts

Industry, State, and Academia Outreach

Completed internal INL LDRD on Driver Efficiency

Collaboration with industry (MCI) and academia (University of Idaho Departments for Computer Science and Human Factors)

Resulting paper (“Driving Behavior Prompting Framework for Improving Fuel Efficiency) will be presented in

June 2015

at International Conference on Human Systems Interaction in

Gdansk Poland.

MCI

donated over $100k of material to INL for further driver efficiency simulator research at the Center for Advanced Energy Studies (CAES)

Current and Future Research Direction

Execute current INL-IT CRADA connected vehicle research.

Emphasis

is on mobile and fixed weather information integration, signal phase and timing, animal warning systems.

Continued motor coach conversion in support of fuel efficiency

Test of human factors display concepts in the heavy vehicle simulator and controlled field tests.

FY15-16 INL-ITD CRADA endeavors

Road Grip/Thermal Mapping of Bus Routes

. Winter

travel

in

eastern Idaho can be treacherous due to slick roads and limited visibility.

Dash Camera Snapshots

. Forward looking video cameras will also be installed on selected buses and snowplows to monitor the road and weather conditions. Periodic snapshots from these cameras will be added to the road grip/thermal mapping

display.Snowplow data Upload. ITD currently collects snowplow controller data on board and uses WiFi communications at the maintenance sheds to upload the operational history performed by the driver.

Vehicle

to Vehicle Applications

. Buses, snowplows and light vehicles will be equipped with DSRC radio communications that will provide frequent exchanges of the basic safety messages (BSM) among the vehicles, which will contains vehicle position, speed, trajectory, and other data

.

Signal phase and timing

. Coordinate with City of Idaho Falls and ITD

. Traveling wave for snow plows

Team with

ITD

and others to pursue Grant opportunities
