Summary:
In a context of increasing cost of oil, the fuel consumption of trucks is a challenging issue. During truck development process we aim to estimate fuel consumption values as close as reality as possible. Therefore the objective of this PhD is to create driver models for trucks development process. These models will be implemented following a driving behavior analysis with the help of several data collections carried out on real road.
