Identificação e avaliação de modelos de previsão de consumo de combustível para diferentes condições rodoviárias

Abstract

With the rapid growth of urbanization, the environmental issues caused by transportation have been challenging due to the significant negative impact on climate change. The earth's average temperature has risen by about 1.5°C from 1880 to the present day, and it is estimated that by the year 2040 the temperature could increase by another 2°C. For this not to happen, studies show that current CO2 emissions need to be reduced by about 45%. Despite the strict emission standards and greenhouse gases, the number of vehicles used has increased significantly, and consequently the consumption of fossil fuel, generating an increase in CO2 emissions released into the earth's atmosphere. An estimate to quantify the fuel consumption by vehicles is an important tool to quantify and detail strategies to control carbon dioxide emissions. As there has been a pressing concern over climate change in the last decade, vehicle fuel consumption models are increasingly significant. Thus, this object of study proposes an analysis and exposition of fuel consumption prediction models related to road sidewalk conditions. The research adopts as methodology, the literature review research and also seeks through statistics and governmental documents, to conceptualize and dimension the necessity of the study.
