vehicle is hauling light or heavy loads since most of the Class-8 truck trips fall into the second weight category. To do this, the search engine of the DCGenT Prototype was used to parse the data by truck-tire combination and vehicle load level. The vehicle weight was divided into four categories: 1) Tractor Only (trips made without any trailer), 2) Light Load (total vehicle weight between 24,000lbs and 44,000lbs); 3) Medium Load (total vehicle weight between 44,000lbs and 62,000lbs); and 4) Heavy Load (total vehicle weight between 62,000lbs and 80,000lbs). As in the previous sub-section, 100mile segments were considered for which the fuel efficiency was computed and counted as one observation. Table 22 presents the results of this analysis. Under each load level category, the column labeled “Avg. FE” contains the average of the fuel efficiencies across all the 100-mile segments in which each particular truck-tire combination was divided, with the column immediately to the right presenting the percent difference in fuel efficiencies when comparing against the base case (i.e., the case in which the tractor and trailer are equipped with dual tires). For all load levels considered, there is always an improvement in fuel efficiency with respect to the base case (i.e., Duals-Duals). Notice also that fuel efficiency improvement increases as the number of NGSWBTs increases. Moreover, for the particular case in which all tires are NGSWBTs, there are considerable improvements in fuel efficiency with respect to the base case (10+%), and those improvements are more significant as the load level increases. Table 22. Fuel Efficiency as a Function of Load Level and Truck-Tire Configuration Load Level Truck-Tire Tractor Only Configuration 1 Avg. FE % Diff with Light Load Avg. FE Medium Load Heavy Load (mpg) Duals-Duals 1 % Diff with Avg. FE (mpg) Duals-Duals 1 % Diff with Avg. FE (mpg) Duals-Duals 1 % Diff with (mpg) Duals-Duals Duals- Duals 9.01 0.00% 8.06 0.00% 7.17 0.00% 6.24 0.00% Duals- NGSWBTs NA NA 8.61 6.75% 7.48 4.34% 6.50 4.22% NGSWBTs- Duals NA NA 8.63 7.06% 7.51 4.76% 6.56 5.16% NGSWBTs- 10.52 16.77% NGSWBTs 1 Fuel efficiencies computed using collected databus information. 8.79 8.94% 7.93 10.60% 6.88 10.20% As in the previous subsection, a series of tests of hypothesis were performed to statistically corroborate these results. The null hypothesis (i.e., there is no difference between the distribution of fuel efficiencies for any tire combination that has NGSWBTs and that of the base case; see Eq. 11) was tested against an alternative hypothesis stating that the average of the distributions of the fuel efficiencies of any tire combination that has NGSWBTs are larger than that of the base case (see Eq. 12). Fig. 78 to Fig. 81 show the distribution of fuel efficiencies computed for 100-mile segments for trucks with Duals-Duals, Duals-NGSWBTs, NGSWBTs-Duals, and NGSWBTs-NGSWBTs tire combinations, respectively, for vehicles carrying heavy loads (i.e., total vehicle weight above 62,000 lbs). As the figures show, the distributions of fuel efficiencies are very close to normal distributions; moreover, since the sample size in any case is large, the Central Limit Theorem applies as in the previous case. That is, it is possible to assume that the average of any one of the fuel efficiency distributions under consideration is normally distributed and it is an unbiased estimator of the true distribution mean. 92
