Development of Fleet Energy Savings Evaluation Tools for Smart Mobility: Smart Vehicle Energy Technology (SVET) Model for Passenger Fleets and Freight Fleet Level Energy Estimation Tool (FFLEET) for Freight Fleets
- Oak Ridge National Lab. (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
As part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Systems and Modeling for Accelerated Research in Transportation (SMART) Mobility Initiative, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) led a study to develop web-based tools intended to enable vehicle fleet operators, including both passenger and freight fleets, to quantify the energy savings achievable by implementing advanced transportation technologies. By developing a profile of a fleet’s existing vehicle inventory and providing data about how and where the vehicles are driven, fuel consumption can be calculated for the entire fleet and users can perform “what if” scenarios to evaluate the energy savings that can be realized when replacing existing vehicles and implementing new technologies.
