Hi , seems to me that a reply has been moved !I think the tablets are wearing off again....
This must be a wind up.Hi , seems to me that a reply has been moved !
Stop start technology has been around in motoring terms for decades.
I can remember that Audi had a system in early 1980s of a stop start system 100% of the time.
Can that be said today , I stand by my comment that current stop start systems don't work to make any real difference to emissions.
I conducted a test recently a a major cross roads ( 4 roads ) in my home town controlled by traffic lights.The test period was from 0800 hrs to 1200 hours on a dry sunny day.
The cycle time of the lights was two minutes.( Average)
The average numbers of cars per cycle was 9
I used a very accurate directional digital dB reader. I had worked out the dB level in conjunction to the position of the car to the junction when the engine restarts.
I backed this up with my hearing.
The information / data collected was conducted over a few days as it would have been difficult for me to continually do this over a 4 hour time span.
Believe me or not just go and stand by a traffic junction controlled by traffic lights and listen for yourself to car restarting.
I also am losing the will to live, can I borrow your directional digital db reader ?Hi , seems to me that a reply has been moved !
