Researchers created a computer model to predict a forklift's fuel consumption and verified it with real-world tests.
The study modeled all factors affecting a forklift's fuel consumption in a computer environment. The model was then tested and compared to real-world data from a forklift tested according to the VDI 2198 standard. The goal was to create a reliable model for predicting fuel consumption in future forklift operations without needing to conduct new tests.
Abstract
Fuel consumption values of all used vehicles, whether they are construction machines or stacking machines, need to be calculated or convergently determined at the drafting stage. In this study, all parameters affecting the fuel consumption of a forklift truck are modeled in a computer environment and then this forklift truck is tested according to the fuel consumption part of VDI 2198 and the model and test data are compared. As a result of this study, we will have a fuel consumption model validated with test data and we will know the fuel consumption value without the need for testing in future forklift operations.
