Application of machine learning for fuel consumption modelling of trucks (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Perrotta, F., Parry, T., & Neves, L. C. (2017). Application of machine learning for fuel consumption modelling of trucks.

This paper presents the application of three Machine Learning techniques to fuel consumption modelling of articulated trucks for a large dataset. In particular, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) mod... Read More about Application of machine learning for fuel consumption modelling of trucks.

Using truck sensors for road pavement performance investigation (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Perrotta, F., Parry, T., & Neves, L. C. (2017). Using truck sensors for road pavement performance investigation.

Considering data from 260 articulated trucks, with ~12900 cc Euro 6 engines driving along a motorway in England (M18), the study first shows how different approaches lead to the conclusion that road pavement surface conditions influence fuel consumpt...

Route level analysis of road pavement surface condition and truck fleet fuel consumption (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Perrotta, F., Trupia, L., Parry, T., & Neves, L. C. (2017). Route level analysis of road pavement surface condition and truck fleet fuel consumption.

Experimental studies have estimated the impact of road surface conditions on vehicle fuel consumption to be up to 5% (Beuving et al., 2004). Similar results have been published by Zaabar and Chatti (2010). However, this was established testing a limi...

A big data approach to assess the influence of road pavement condition on truck fleet fuel consumption (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Perrotta, F., Parry, T., & Neves, L. C. (2017). A big data approach to assess the influence of road pavement condition on truck fleet fuel consumption.

In Europe, the road network is the most extensive and valuable infrastructure asset. In England, for example, its value has been estimated at around £344 billion and every year the government spends approximately £4 billion on highway maintenance (Ho...
