Estimating on-road vehicle fuel economy in Africa
The paper develops a methodology to estimate fuel economy in sub-Saharan African cities, specifically Nairobi, by collecting data on both formal and informal vehicle fleets. Using general linear modelling (GLM) and artificial neural networks (ANN), the study found that fuel economy for bodabodas, tuktuks, passenger cars, and matatus in Nairobi is 2–3 times worse than in their countries of import. The GLM was identified as the more effective model for predicting fuel economy based on vehicle characteristics.
