Abstract: Abstract FuelKoller, Micha consumptionHemmerle, Peter isRehborn, Hubert oneKerner, Boris S. ofKaufmann, Stefan the key cost factors relevant for the movement of vehicles. In times of increasing traffic congestion on both freeways and urban road sections the question arises how the fuel consumption is influenced by congestions congestion occurring in many sections of the road network. Congested traffic states are defined based on Kerner’s three-phase traffic theory [1, 2]. The article presents the probability functions of traffic breakdowns for road sections: the probability curve as function of the traffic flow rate is an increasing function of the flow rate and similar for both freeway an urban sections with traffic signals [4]. Therefore, the recognition of traffic breakdowns and the determination of the emerging traffic state is crucial for the prediction of the additional fuel consumption. By investigating empirical field data from vehicles driving on a specific freeway section statistical analysis reveals the additional fuel consumption factors for the two different congested states in comparison to free flow.
