Abstract:Hydrogen-fueled vehicles (HFVs) offer the promise of providing safe, clean, and efficient transportation in a setting of rising fuel prices and tightening environmental regulations. However, the technologies needed to store or manufacture hydrogen onboard and deliver it to the propulsion system differs from conventionally-fueled vehicles. These differences present challenges to engineers and scientists in the development of HFVs that are safe and practical for every day use. For many years, researchers have been meeting these challenges through the development of new designs, testing and analyses to ensure hydrogen-fueled vehicles are no more hazardous to own and operate than conventionally-fueled vehicles and meet the same or similar performance requirements. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recognizes the value in understanding the hydrogen and fuel cell research being conducted by other national and international organizations and has requested that Battelle undertake a review of recently published hydrogen vehicle and safety research. The intent of this program is to identify technical documents directly related to the safety performance of HFVs and to organize the content of this research in a format that is logical and searchable. Ultimately, the information provided in this project is intended to help NHTSA guide future program planning by avoiding redundancy and overlap in similar research areas and highlighting opportunities for complementary or cooperative research in other areas.
