The round table "Environmental Safety in Transport" was held at VSUFT
The round table "Environmental Safety in Transport", held within the framework of the International Forestry Forum, became a platform for a comprehensive scientific analysis of the problems and prospects of reducing the environmental burden from transport operations in the forest complex. Under the chairmanship of Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Dorokhin S.V., the participants discussed multidimensional approaches to minimizing environmental impact.
During the scientific discussion, Professor Volkov V.S. presented a fundamental analysis of the evolution of approaches to the greening of vehicles used in forestry. His research covered a retrospective of the development and strategic directions for improving vehicles, taking into account the tightening environmental standards.
Significant scientific interest was aroused by developments in the field of alternative energy. Professor Ivannikov V.A. analyzed in detail the technical and economic aspects of using natural gas as a motor fuel for forestry machinery, presenting calculations for reducing the carbon footprint. Associate Professor Khripchenko M.S. proposed an innovative architecture for a combined power supply system for specialized forestry equipment, which makes it possible to significantly reduce emissions in conditions of intensive operation.
Experimental studies were presented in the context of emission reduction technologies. Associate Professor Tolstov S.V. proved the effectiveness of the saturated moist air injection system in the fuel-air mixture of an internal combustion engine, demonstrating the results of field tests. Graduate student Vernigora E.R. has developed a methodology for operational monitoring of the condition of engine oils, which makes it possible to optimize operational parameters and reduce pollutant emissions.
The work of Professor Shevtsova A.G., who presented the concept of urban mobility development taking into account the needs of the timber industry, was devoted to infrastructural aspects. Special attention should be paid to the research of Professor Nikitin V.V., who proposed a revolutionary technology for the construction of forest winter roads with artificial ice coating, which ensures minimal impact on natural ecosystems.
The managerial aspects of environmental safety are reflected in the works of Associate Professor Korablev R.A., who systematized the directions of improving the environmental safety of automotive technology, and Lecturer Spodarev R.A., who analyzed the potential of using electric vehicles in logging activities.
