Abstract

At present, digital maps can estimate the travel time of each trip’s route but cannot offer a fuel consumption estimation at the same time. In this paper, we develop a fuel consumption model based on the Vehicle Specific Power (VSP) distribution, which can connect the traffic condition prediction with the fuel consumption model to predict fuel consumption. First, the traffic condition forecasting and the trip time of each route can be obtained through the digital map Application Programming Interface (API). Secondly, the users need to provide the engine displacement of their vehicles to match the fuel consumption model. Then, the fuel consumption prediction application based on Android is developed to forecast the fuel consumption by using traffic prediction data. Finally, the fuel consumption provided by the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) data is used to verify the proposed application, and the forecasting error is less than 20%.
