Impact of Road Gradient on Fuel Consumption of Light-Duty Diesel Vehicles

The geometric alignment of highways directly affects the fuel consumption of motor vehicles. To analyze the impact of the road gradient on fuel consumption, actual road tests were conducted in plateau and mountainous areas. Geographic Information Systems (GISs) were used to calculate road gradients,...
