An Innovative Method for Fuel Consumption and Maintenance Cost of Heavy-Duty Vehicles based on SR-GRU-CNN Algorithm

A heavy-duty vehicle’s fuel usage, and thus its carbon dioxide emissions, are significantly impacted by the driver’s behavior. The average fuel economy of a car varies by about 28% between drivers. Fuel efficiency can be improved by driver education, monitoring, and feedback. Fuel efficiency-based incentives are one form of feedback that can be provided. The largest challenge for transportation companies implementing such incentive programs is how to accurately evaluate drivers’ fuel consumption. The processes of preprocessing, feature extraction, and model training are all utilized in the suggested method. Principal component analysis (PCA) is widely utilized in data science’s preprocessing stage. GMM is used for feature extraction. Afterwards, SR-GRU-CNN is used to train the models based on the selected features. When compared to the two most popular alternatives, CNN and SR-GRU, the proposed method excels.
