Motor vehicle turbo or supercharger diverter valve system
Turbo or super charged intake tract diverter valve system, upstream of a throttle valve, includes a closure means (10) for a diversion aperture (4.1) in the intake tract (3) to vent pressurized gases within to a bypass path or atmosphere; the closure means having a transfer aperture (12) facilitating a net force due to a pressure differential on its opposite sides of the closure means (10) so as to close or keep closed the diversion aperture (4.1). When gas pressure on opposite sides of the closure means is equal, and when an upstream side (10.1) of the closure means (10) has a pressure greater than a downstream side (5.1), then it will open the diversion aperture (4.1). An actuation means opens a control aperture (6) to create the necessary pressure differential on the closure means (10) to thereby cause same to open the diversion aperture (4.1).
TRAVEL PLANNING BASED ON MINIMIZING IMPACT OF VEHICULAR EMISSION
One embodiment provides a method for determining at least one recommended vehicular travel route, the method including collecting a plurality of travel route inputs from a plurality of sources, relative to a travel route comprising a starting point and an ending point; determining at least one travel route recommendation by (i) assessing the collected plurality of travel route inputs and (ii) taking in to consideration vehicle emission impact parameters; and tracking vehicle adherence. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.
