Prediction of Transport Fuel Consumption by Artificial Neural Network: A Case Study of Land Reclamation Trucks in the Southern Border Provinces, Thailand

PerformanceAbstract
The purpose of this research is to compare the transport fuel prediction performance by an artificial neural network with the MAPE. The monthly transportation fuel consumption data from 2013 to 2017 were used to estimate fuel consumption using three transfer functions: sigmoid, bipolar sigmoid, and hyperbolic-tangent. Each transfer function will divide the neural network into 9 structures, namely, input layer (12 nodes), hidden layer (between 4 to 12 nodes), and output (layer 1 node) that is related to time series data, totaling 27 structures to be used to assess the MAPE for fuel consumption predicted. The learning rate was 0.05, the momentum was 0.5, and the number of iterations was 100,000. It was found that an ANN (12-8-1) neural network with a hyperbolic-tangent transfer function has the lowest as 0.03 percent of MAPE. The study's findings may be used to create case studies for businesses wishing to enhance their fuel economy. This includes using the suggestions from this study to increase the accuracy of predicting data of relevance in other sectors.
