When the button “Extract Data” is clicked-on, an option is presented to further limit data extraction to<br />

segments between minimum and maximum durations. Once the data are extracted, the geographic<br />

routes <strong>for</strong> each segment are displayed in a map. In addition, pertinent data can be displayed and<br />

analyzed <strong>for</strong> each segment.<br />

The data extracted can be graphed in two- or three-dimensional bar or line graphs. Parameters<br />

available <strong>for</strong> graphing include time, engine speed, wind speed, road grade, and fuel consumption. As<br />

shown in Fig. 32, a summary of the statistical indices appear at the bottom of the interface screen.<br />

Alternatively, a single parameter could be graphed and its data stored in a separate file. The ovalhighlighted<br />

region in Fig. 32 shows negligible fuel consumption in a five-mile downhill segment at<br />

slightly higher speed.<br />
