Simple telematics devices known as OBD “dongles” are being used for a wide range of applications, including driver insurance programs, boundary and speed alerts for young drivers, and powertrain diagnostics. SGS has explored the potential for another application, using OBD dongle data to predict fuel consumption and tailpipe exhaust emissions. In this study, SGS accurately measured instantaneous fuel consumption and emissions in the laboratory and on the road using PEMS technology. We then employed an advanced analytical technique known as “machine learning” to discover the relationship between engine sensor data and exhaust emissions. The machine learning approach showed promise to predict fuel consumption and emissions more accurately, and could be used to augment government Remote OBD and emissions inventory modeling programs.

3) The four key opportunities for cost savings through telematics are reducing collisions and associated costs, controlling rising fuel expenses through better driving habits, limiting unnecessary vehicle maintenance from aggressive driving, and boosting productivity by decreasing idle time.
Fuel efficiency in construction equipment – optimize the machine as one systemReno Filla
In order to further optimize the fuel efficiency and productivity of construction equipment, 3 main potentials have been identified:
• job site optimization
• machine use optimization
• machine optimization
The focus of this paper is the machine optimization on the example of a wheel loader.
Optimizing losses in individual components must be done, but it will not be a game changer for fuel efficiency improvement. Three areas for promising improvement potentials:
• Optimizing the systems interactions
• Decoupling of systems
• Reduction of losses
One example is shown for a total machine optimization approach: the “Reverse by Braking” function is using the machine operating brakes to slow down the machine during power shuttle instead of using the engine power.
Decoupling of systems requires continuously variable transmission (CVT) functionality for the driveline. This can be achieved with hydraulic or electric CVTs. Two examples for decoupling systems are shown: the Volvo hydrostatic powersplit CVT prototype and a series hybrid wheel loader.
Further future potentials are explored, while the driveline and hydraulic technology are the enablers for drastic improvements: electrified site, plug in hybrid, alternative fuels, and new machine concepts.

Measuring the Dependence of Fuel Efficiency of Automobiles on Different FactorsIRJESJOURNAL
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to develop a multiple regression model for measuring the miles per gallon (Efficiency) by using different independent variables. How much the efficiency in terms of miles per gallon is dependent on engine displacement, horsepower, vehicle weight, model year, number of cylinders, and filters? Which is the most important variable for increasing the efficiency of automobiles? The answers of these questions are the objectives of this paper. The results indicate that model year has positive effect on efficiency of vehicle while horse power, vehicle weight, and filters have negative impact on vehicle’s efficiency. Results also specify that vehicle weight has the maximum impact on miles per gallon while horsepower has the minimum impact.

The workflow involves collecting vehicle data, identifying side-slip models, calibrating PTC, validating in simulation, and testing on real vehicles. PTC comes in different configurations to interface with vehicle systems.
Fleet Management Solutions: Questions to ask forThomas Kusch
There are many reasons to make fleet electrification your top priority: self-commitment to emissions reduction, sustainability as key differentiation, preventing new carbon tax regulations or savings. Whatever your reason may be, a shift to electric can drive business value in many ways. But what makes fleet electrification a valuable business case?
These are the questions you may consider before deciding for a new fleet management solution.
Homologation requirements act as barriers to international markets for automotive companies. While India has developed automotive technology, homologation standards make it difficult to access international markets. Homologation involves obtaining governmental approval by documenting vehicle performance, submitting samples for testing, and demonstrating compliance. It can involve type approval, where compliance is proven before sale, or self-certification, where witnessed testing before sale is not required. Meeting homologation requirements increases costs, but provides access to growing automotive markets.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Equipment Testing: Do You Get Meaningful Results?
This session will explain the importance of validating equipment supplier fuel
efficiency company claims, by truly measuring and understanding real world fuel
in/fuel out and not just reading ECM data. The session will be presented by a
representative from Vnomics and will focus on the importance of using statistical
process control techniques along with real world fleet performance data to effectively
evaluate the impact of equipment on fleet fuel performance.

4. What we will cover today
1.The importance of accurate measurement
2.Isolating the variable effects of the delivery
task and driving behavior from the truck.
3.Establishing and tracking truck performance
baselines to use in evaluating any change of
operations or equipment and its effect on
fuel economy
5. Good Advice...on testing
“Don’t fall in love with a single test—that holds true for fleets
and manufacturers. One test is just that: one test, Multiple
tests allow you to look for trends in test data. That’s where we
think the most confidence in a [efficiency] number can be
found, and then take that number and adjust it to each fleet’s
real-world operation.”
Mike Roeth, Executive Director of the NACFE

7. Key Distinction for Today’s Talk
Controlled Tests
• Lock down the conditions (test
tracks)
• Explicit assumptions
• Set up A/B comparisons
• Single point in time
• Expensive. Ties up assets that
should be delivering freight
• Little correlation to your actual
fleet operations and vehicles
Fleet Composite Tests
• Continuous/Constant
• Using real-world vehicles in
real-world operations gives
real-world data!
• “What if “ analysis (digital
modeling) using real world
data.
Benefit of connected trucking
[IOT]. GE does this with
locomotives and jets. It's also
possible with trucks!
9. Fuel Flow vs. ECM Calculations
“fuel consumption data in
an ECM is derived from
an algorithm and not
from actual fuel flow...
there is an inherent
error with those
calculations.” - Yves
Provencher Pitt Group
http://fleetowner.com/maintenan
ce/certifying-fuel-savings
4 % to 6 % Error
Fleets work hard for percentage
point improvements in fuel
economy. Hard to see if you have
> 1% error in measurement!
10. Illustrating the difference...
Actual Fuel Rate
Sometimes higher
(more fuel quoted)
Sometimes lower
(less fuel quoted)
Eliminate Measurement
bias with fuel flow rate
12. Fuel Economy Factors
•The Delivery Task - load, route, traffic,
weather
•The Driver - engine control, acceleration,
idling, speed
• The Truck - make, model, year, drivetrain
configuration, aerodynamics, tires,
maintenance cycle, etc.
The end game is to isolate the truck from
these other factors so any tests or changes can
be assessed without bias/influence.

14. Fleet MPG Distribution
More than 65,000
Trips

Multimodal
distribution
MPG - “it depends”
Do you know your
trip MPG?
15. Classification of Trips
•IDLE - high idle percentage. A task associated
with yard/dock dwell would fall into this
category.
•CITY - frequent stops and less than highway
average speed characterize these trips.
•HIGHWAY - infrequent (no) stops and an
average speed that is indicative of highway
driving.
16. Isolating the Trip Type
Key part of
isolating the
delivery task
IDLE
1.01 MPG Avg
CITY
4.46 MPG Avg
HIGHWAY
7.34 MPG Avg
17. The critical task: Actual vs.
Potential
Isolate Driver’s Behavior
• Engine Control
• Speed Control
• Idling Control
Account for truck configuration
• Engine RPM vs. Differential
Ratio at Highway speeds
(gearing)
“How do you do that?”
Capturing sensor data on every trip and every truck, modeling
(learning) what is possible vs. what is actually happening in each of
the above dimensions. This allows us to understand not only the
MPG but also the “Potential” MPG (of course a higher number) if we
were able to account for these sources of waste (loss).

23. Statistical Control of MPG
The key is to “know” what your trucks are
capable of in real world operations and using
that understanding to introduce changes in a
controlled fashion to “prove” whether a given
change is or is not beneficial for your fleet. No
longer relying on anecdotal evidence that may
or may not translate to your trucks or your
operations.

Measure
Fuel Before vs. Fuel After
With visibility across the fleet down to a specific truck, at any moment in time you can
assess a potential change or react to an unintended consequence on fuel economy by
having a baseline of “true” fuel understanding with which to control your fleet’s fuel
efficiency.

25. What we covered today
Fuel expense is a never ending consideration in profitably managing a fleet.
Having visibility and control over the fuel use on your trucks requires three
key factors:
• Measurement must be accurate/precise and fine grained enough to
know exactly how much fuel is actually burned/used on each and every
trip.
• Isolating the truck from the variable factors of driving behavior and the
delivery task allows you to form a statistical baseline of truck
performance.
• Creating and maintaining a baseline of statistical control for each truck
is the key to being able to assess fuel efficiency over time and under
specific changes in equipment or operations.
The outcome: ROI assessment on Fuel Economy investment
becomes built into your daily process.
