Abstract
In an attempt to reduce exhaust emissions from transportation vehicles, the Taiwanese government plans to enact the "no idling emission" policy regarding motorcycles/scooters. Automatic Idling Stop and Go (AISG) technology is a simple low cost method in which the internal combustion engine is automatically powered off when the scooter stops and restarted when the driver wishes. However, due to dissimilarities between scooters and automobiles in terms of driving behavior and powertrain configuration, the AISG topology and control strategy as used in automobiles cannot be applied to scooters directly. This paper investigated the feasibility of applying the AISG control technique to scooters to enhance the system's security and reliability and address public concerns about AISG by analyzing riding behavior and security issues. The goal of this study was to demonstrate an AISG device, which included the development of a miniaturized AISG control module and control logic algorithm considering operative convenience and safety. Finally the developed AISG control module was installed in a four-stroke, electronic-fuel-injection (EFI) scooter, enabling us to perform an actual on-road test to verify the feasibility and reliability of the AISG control technology.
