Idling emission at signalised intersection- A case study in Delhi. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kumar, R., Parida, P., Shukla, S., & Saleh, W. (2014, August). Idling emission at signalised intersection- A case study in Delhi. Paper presented at WASD 2014 International Conference

Exhaust emissions from idling vehicles at signalised traffic intersections is always of interest to researcher. In this paper, a case study of Ashram intersection of Delhi is presented to find out the emissions by vehicles during idling delays. Facto...

Effect of type of lead vehicle on following headway behaviour in mixed traffic (2014)
Journal Article
Kumar, R., Parida, P., & Saleh, W. (2014). Effect of type of lead vehicle on following headway behaviour in mixed traffic. World journal of science, technology and sustainable development, 11(1), 28-43. https://doi.org/10.1108/wjstsd-08-2013-0036

Purpose – There is gap in literature on understanding of the issues of following headway behaviour of the driver and a lack of sufficient data in different traffic conditions. The purpose of this paper is to find the effects of type of lead vehicle o... Read More about Effect of type of lead vehicle on following headway behaviour in mixed traffic.

Impact of motorcycle’s driving behaviour on fuel consumption and emissions. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kumar, R., Saleh, W., & Ocana, L. (2014, January). Impact of motorcycle’s driving behaviour on fuel consumption and emissions. Paper presented at 46th Annual UTSG Conference

Many studies have confirmed that driving behaviour has a great influence on petrol-fuelled than on diesel-fuelled vehicles. Depending on the type of road and vehicle technology, fuel consumption may increase by up to 40% for aggressive driving compar...

How real‐world driving cycle differs in heterogeneous traffic conditions: a case study in Delhi (2013)
Journal Article
Kumar, R., Parida, P., Kanga Durai, B., & Saleh, W. (2013). How real‐world driving cycle differs in heterogeneous traffic conditions: a case study in Delhi. World journal of science, technology and sustainable development, 10(1), 66-80. https://doi.org/10.1108/20425941311313119

Purpose – Heterogeneous traffic in Delhi is complex to understand due its typical composition, speed acceleration, cruising, deceleration and idling activity in flow. To arrive at accurate emission factor estimates and implement proper traffic demand... Read More about How real‐world driving cycle differs in heterogeneous traffic conditions: a case study in Delhi.
