Fuel consumption evaluation for the testing of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems: first issues and solutions

摘要

This paper presents some preliminary results toward the development of a microscopic fuel consumption model usable in real time. The aim of our research is the development of Advanced Driving Assistance System tools which are based on the fuel consumption model, and implement eco-driving strategies. The parameters of the model have been identified and validated with respect to a huge experiment carried out by using the Instrumented Vehicle owned by the University of Naples, and involved about 100 drivers (for a total amount of about 8000 km of driving data). We developed an instantaneous model, and showed that the estimation is very accurate when the model is used in order to evaluate the aggregate fuel consumption of a driving session. Results of this paper put the basis for the development of a powerful tool for Advanced Driving Assistance Systems development and testing.
