Tóm tắt

Black carbon (BC) from diesel buses is a major contributor to urban PM2.5 and a significant short-lived climate forcer. This study quantifies how operation‑mode distributions (Bins) and vehicle‑specific power (VSP) characteristics across seven bus driving cycles influence the bus’s BC emissions. MOVES software was used to simulate bus BC emissions following selected driving cycles. A representative EURO II diesel bus (60–89 seats; 10 years in service) was used as the case study, while fuel and meteorology were held constant to isolate the effect of driving patterns. The driving kinematic attributes, VSP probability density, and Bin frequencies were analyzed across cycles. The New York City cycle recorded the highest PM2.5 and BC emissions (0.859 and 0.599 g/km, respectively), reflecting a driving pattern characterized by a large share of idling time, dominance of Bins 12–13, and the occurrence of high-VSP phases. The Transit Coach Operating Duty Cycle had the lowest PM2.5 and BC emissions (0.256 g/km and 0.196 g/km, respectively), indicating a shift toward Bin 22 and an almost complete absence of very high-VSP bins. The Hanoi bus driving cycle produced intermediate values (0.427 g PM2.5/km; 0.324 g BC/km), in line with Bins 12–14, which are typical of the city's stop-and-go traffic. Across cycles, BC contributed about 70–78% of PM2.5 emissions. The results suggest practical ways to reduce BC and PM2.5 in the short term, particularly when technological advancements are limited, such as reducing idling and aggressive acceleration, and improving steady-speed operation
