Calculation and prediction of energy consumption for highway transportation

This paper carries out experiments for energy efficiency, combined with observation of traffic volume, and proposes calculation model of energy consumption for highway system. Standard transport turnover is used to compute future energy consumption, and, in allusion to structural changes in historical data, pseudo variable algorithm is introduced to forecast transport turnover. The results show that this method can calculate accurately the energy consumption, and pseudo variable algorithm can get better prediction than conventional methods.
