  Passenger car fuel economy: Insights from big data analytics

  By Arumugam P, Karthikeyan Subramanian, Rajavel Rangasamy

  Abstract: The increasing availability of real-world vehicle telematics through On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD-II) systems has enabled data-driven evaluation of passenger car fuel economy beyond conventional laboratory-based test cycles. While standardized certification procedures ensure repeatability, they often fail to capture the influence of real-world traffic conditions, driver behaviour, and transient vehicle operation. This study presents a structured Big Data Analytics (BDA) approach for analysing high-frequency OBD-II data collected from a gasoline passenger …
