Research about Model of Vehicle's Fuel Consumption on the Highway

Abstract:

Accurate measurement and modeling of fuel consumption have great significance in the evaluation and optimization for environmental protection, energy saving and economy of highway project. Vehicle, test method and fuel consumption prediction method are improved for accurate calculation of current fuel consumption. Natural drivings fuel consumption are measured with actual transportation vehicles on the highway. Long route is divided into many units, whose fuel consumption are added to estimate the total fuel consumption. Comparison between traditional models calculating value and measured value on flat road shows that traditional models are not suitable for calculating current fuel consumption. So traditional models coefficients are updated and new model forms are established through a large number of measured data. The new models are more accurate than traditional models.
