Accounting for passenger flow and bus total mileage when correcting the route norms of fuel consumption

Abstract

The article studies passenger flow, bus age and total mileage and their impact on the fuel consumption of city buses operating under the conditions of State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans. Regression models of fuel consumption are built based on the collected statistical data. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the influence of bus’s work schedule on passenger flow indicators is carried out. Based on the results of the study, recommendations are given for adjusting the route fuel consumption of city buses, depending on operating conditions. Keyword: city bus, S.U.E.
