ANALYSIS OF EFFECT OF ROLLING RESISTANCE COEFFICIENT ON AUTOMOBILE FUEL CONSUMPTION

Abstract

Three types of pavements represented by different rolling resistance
coefficients with specific values of 0.018, 0.027 and 0.035 were used to compare
the simulated calculated values of the emission coefficients using the carbon
balance technique to evaluate fuel consumption of vehicle. This technique is
based on a model of the carbon dioxide emission coefficient that shows the
maximum percentage difference in value to each different rolling resistance
coefficient corresponding. This shows that the application of this simulation
technique will be successful to the extent that it can be applied to calculate the
total amount of carbon in the vehicle's moving process. Matlab Simulink software
used to simulation, based on principle of determine fuel consumption level in
gasoline engine of Toyota Vios 2017. In the results, this paper can be used for
different types of engines in order to save cost and times of experiments.
