Hi Everyone,
I'm looking to get a little shove in the right direction. I have a massive amount of refuse truck data which includes such parameters as speed, gps location, fuel use, dump weight, idle time, etc.
What I would like to do is determine how similar two drive cycles are in order to see statistically significant fuel economy benefits between two different vehicles.
The data I have was collected while the trucks were in use for over a year of operation and was not a "controlled" experiment. As of right now I simply calculate a bunch of drive-cycle parameters for two different trucks and see how similar they are. However, I'd like to use actual statistics to prove that the datasets can in fact be fairly compared.
Please let me know if you have any ideas or statistical concepts I can look into.
Check out the attached excel table to see results.
Thanks,
Matt
