sustainable performance ranking metric by sonoma raceway
DESCRIPTION
The goal of this ini>al project is to create a simple automobile ranking system that demonstrates which vehicles best optimize both sustainability and performance. In the process, we hope to start a dialogue on this topic and inspire partners to join us in this mission.TRANSCRIPT
Sustainable Performance Ranking Metric
Methodology and Results
Sustainability vs. Performance?
Consumer vehicles are typically posi>oned to be either “green” or “high performance”.
What about the driver who wants both?
Project Vision
• To create a new standard in vehicle excellence that values both sustainability and performance.
• To empower consumers to choose vehicles that balance sustainability and performance.
• To incen>vize automo>ve manufacturers to op>mize sustainable performance technologies.
A Ranking Metric
The goal of this ini>al project is to create a simple automobile ranking system that demonstrates which vehicles best op>mize both sustainability and performance. In the process, we hope to start a dialogue on this topic and inspire partners to join us in this mission.
Sustainability + Performance
Academic Research Team
GreenMBA Student Team – Daniel Bakke – Kevin Bullock – Peter Carlson – Louise Kelso – Stephanie Servente – Annie Sherman – Lisa Beth Wellhausen
This project started as a group assignment in the GreenMBA’s Sustainable Metrics class. Special thanks goes to these students for their hours of research in crea>ng our beta data.
Engineer Review
Dr. Paul Erickson – Associate Professor Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, UC Davis
Beta Methodology For this beta version, we’ve inten>onally used a limited data set and simplified math to study how to create a more
advanced ranking system.
Ranking Components
Sustainable Performance Ranking
Sustainability
Miles Per Gallon (City/Highway)
Emissions (Tailpipe & Upstream)
Performance
Horsepower
Torque
Power/Weight Ra>o
Basic Math • Sustainability Ranking
– 1 to 5 points rela>ve to best and worse
– Equal parts Miles Per Gallon and Emissions
• Performance Ranking – 1 to 5 points rela>ve to best and worse
– Equal parts Horsepower, Torque, and Power/Weight
• Sustainable Performance Total – Up to 5 sustainability points + up to 5 performance points = Up to 10 Total Points
Data Set Parameters • Gas, Diesel and Hybrid Technologies
– Electric Vehicle Ranking Included for Comparison • Consumer Vehicles
– Under $60,000 • Popular Vehicles
– Top 100 Sold in 2011 – Plus select green vehicles for comparison
• Entry Level Engine/Accessories – Reduces complexity in the beta data set
• StaGc Performance Data – Performance is primary sta>c metrics – Later will add dynamic performance data such as
handling and breaking.
Primary Data Sources
Later Data to be Integrated • Sustainability
– Life Cycle Analysis (i.e. full costs of hybrid baderies)
– Passenger Mile (2 seat, 4 seat, 10 seat)
– Drag Coefficient – Total Cost of Ownership (Fuel,
Insurance, Maintenance) • Performance
– Braking – Handling – Safety Ra>ngs – 0-‐60 >mes – Electric Specific: Range /
Recharge Time / Volts Used
