Framtagande av lutningsföreteelse för ruttoptimering av bränsleförbrukning

Sammanfattning

NVDB contains information of Sweden’s roads and a large number of properties concerning them. This information is provided as open data and is commonly usedin routing. For an optimal route optimization, several attributes are needed based on the road properties. At the time that this report was written, there was no attribute for slopes. The purpose of this report was, in collaboration with the Swedish transport Administration, to develop a new property “slope” for route optimization based on fuel consumption. The development of the slope phenomenon was built with FME where a script was created that calculated inclination on road links.The script calculated the inclination using a variation of the linear equation. Where x, y and z coordinates and attributes from NVDB were used to obtain values for the equation.The testing and validation of the generated slope property was performed with route optimization in the ArcMap application. The results from route optimization and previous research show a significant reduction in fuel consumption within routes with regard to slope.
