Start-Stop System: Implementation as a Fuel Reduction Mechanism

Abstract

At present worldwide the main source of energy is oil, however, the consumption of this hydrocarbon presents several problems due to its scarcity, cost and pollution. Currently in the automotive area there are several technologies aimed at reducing the negative impact of this element. The Star Stop system is an automatic system for turning the vehicle on and off in frequent situations such as the red light of a traffic light or traffic congestion, this mechanism avoids the pollution that the vehicle emits when it is idling, and allows fuel savings. In this sense, the present article bibliographically supports the possibility of adapting this mechanism in vehicles that do not have this technology.
