Title: Relation between Unit Fuel Consumption and Load Factor of Road Transport Vehicles
Abstract: In order to determine the effect of increase of loading rate on vehicle fuel consumption in road transport,based on the definitions of load factor and unit fuel consumption,we determined the reciprocal relation between the change of unit fuel consumption and the by mathematical calculation and analysis of fuel consumption characteristics.By curve fitting of statistic data and regression analysis,the relation models between load factor and unit fuel consumption of different vehicle types are established based on the actual road test data under the cycles six working conditions which has the same influencing factors on fuel consumption except the real loading rate,and the model is verified by residual analysis.It proves that(1)the increase of load factor will cause the decrease of vehicle unit fuel consumption;(2) as the foundational load factor increases by same proportion,the decrease of unit fuel consumption is on the decline.
