A Machine Learning Model for Average FuelConsumption in Heavy Vehicles
In this paper author is describing concept to predict average fuel consumption in
heavy vehicles using Machine Learning Algorithm such as ANN (Artificial
Neural Networks). To predict fuel consumption author has extracted 7 predictor
features from heavy vehicle dataset such as
num_stops, time_stopped, average_moving_speed,
characteristic_acceleration, aerodynamic_speed_squared, change_
in_kinetic_energy, change_in_potential_energy, class
Above seven features are recorded from each vehicle travel up to 100 kilo
meters like number of times vehicle stop, total stopped time taken etc. All this
values are collected from heavy vehicle and use as dataset to train ANN model.
Below are some value from above seven predictor features.

8.4,8.4,158.0,25,11.2,6,13.8,13
All bold names are the dataset column names and all double values are the
dataset values for each vehicle. Last column will be consider as class name
which represents fuel consumption for that vehicle. Entire dataset will be used
to train ANN model and whenever we give new record then ANN algorithm will
apply train model on that test record to predict it average fuel consumption.
Below are some test records

8.4,8.4,158.0,25,11.2,6,13.8
In above test data class value as fuel consumption is not there and when we
applied this test record on ANN model then ANN will predict fuel consumption
class value for that test record. Entire train and test data available inside
‘dataset’ folder.
The ANN model is developed by using duty cycle’sdataset collected from
asingle truck, with an approximate mass of 8, 700kg exposed to avariety of
transients including both urban and highway traffic inthe Indianapolis area.
Data was collected using the SAE J1939standard for serial control and
communications in heavy dutyvehicle networks.
Abstract
In this paper we used vehicle travel distance rather than the traditional time
period whendeveloping individualized machine learning models for fuel
consumption.This approach is used in conjunction with seven
predictorsderived from vehicle speed and road grade to produce a
highlypredictive neural network model for average fuel consumption inheavy
vehicles. The proposed model can easily be developed anddeployed for each
individual vehicle in a fleet in order to optimizefuel consumption over the
entire fleet. The predictors of the modelare aggregated over fixed window
sizes of distance travelled. Differentwindow sizes are evaluated and the results
show that a 1 kmwindowis able to predict fuel consumptionwith a 0.91
coefficient ofdetermination and mean absolute peak-to-peak percent error
lessthan 4% for routes that include both city and highway duty cyclesegments.
ANN Working Procedure
To demonstrate how to build anANN neural network based image classifier, we
shall build a 6 layer neural network that will identify and separate one image
from other. This network that we shall build is a very small network that we can
run on a CPU as well. Traditional neural networks that are very good at doing

image classification have many more parameters and take a lot of time if trained
on normal CPU. However, our objective is to show how to build a real-world
convolutional neural network using TENSORFLOW.
Neural Networks are essentially mathematical models to solve an optimization
problem. They are made of neurons, the basic computation unit of neural
networks. A neuron takes an input (say x), do some computation on it (say:
multiply it with a variable w and adds another variable b) to produce a value
(say; z= wx+b). This value is passed to a non-linear function called activation
function (f) to produce the final output(activation) of a neuron. There are many
kinds of activation functions. One of the popular activation function is Sigmoid.
The neuron which uses sigmoid function as an activation function will be called
sigmoid neuron. Depending on the activation functions, neurons are named and
there are many kinds of them like RELU, TanH.
If you stack neurons in a single line, it’s called a layer; which is the next
building block of neural networks. See below image with layers
To predict image class multiple layers operate on each other to get best match
layer and this process continues till no more improvement left.
Modules Information
This project consists of following modules
Upload Heavy Vehicles Fuel Dataset: Using this module we can upload train
dataset to application. Dataset contains comma separated values.

Read Dataset & Generate Model: Using this module we will parse comma
separated dataset and then generate train and test model for ANN from that
dataset values. Dataset will be divided into 80% and 20% format, 80% will be
used to train ANN model and 20% will be used to test ANN model.
Run ANN Algorithm: Using this model we can create ANN object and then
feed train and test data to build ANN model.
Predict Average Fuel Consumption: Using this module we will upload new test
data and then ANN will apply train model on that test data to predict average
fuel consumption for that test records.
Fuel Consumption Graph: Using this module we will plot fuel consumption
graph for each test record.
