Abstract

The viability of many road improvements hinge on a reduction in vehicle operating costs. Fuel consumption is an important component of these costs. A detailed power based model is described which is suitable for estimating the fuel consumption of vehicles ranging from 1 tonne cars to 40 tonne articulated trucks. An instantaneous and four mode elemental form of the model are presented.
