THE USE OF VEHICLE MAPS IN THE DERIVATION OF STOP- START FUEL CONSUMPTION RATES

This paper demonstrates how vehicle maps (depicting instantaneous fuel consumption rate as a function of instantaneous vehicle speed and acceleration) can be used to estimate the excess fuel consumed during a stop/start manoeuvre. Using a typical vehicle map, the paper presents some tentative results showing excess fuel consumption as a function of the cruise speed from which the stop is made and the rate of acceleration/deceleration used in the manoeuvre.
