In-truck fuel economy estimator

A system for generating vehicle fuel economy estimates, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a tangible computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by at least one processor of the system, cause the system to generate one or more fuel economy estimates by:
• obtaining vehicle configuration information and a path of travel;
• obtaining road condition information for segments of the path of travel;
• generating a drive cycle profile based on the path of travel, the road condition information, and the vehicle configuration information;
• and
• generating a fuel economy estimates based on the drive cycle profile.

A tangible, computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, if executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform actions for generating a fuel economy estimate, the actions comprising:

• obtaining vehicle configuration information and a path of travel;
• obtaining road condition information for segments of the path of travel;
• generating more than one drive cycle profile based on the path of travel, the road condition information, and the vehicle configuration information;
• and
• generating a fuel economy estimates based on the more than one drive cycle profiles.
