Abstract
The article presents the results of experimental studies on the estimation of road and transport fuel consumption in the construction of the Rogun Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) for heavy vehicles—dump trucks—an empirical formula for determining the road fuel consumption of vehicles is proposed. The factors affecting fuel consumption are analyzed, of which the elevation angle of individual sections of the road, which can often reach 6 degrees, dominates and higher. Another factor forming fuel consumption is elevation altitude. In the conditions of the Republic of Tajikistan, heavy-duty trucks are operated at altitudes of 1000–2000 m above sea level. Experimental studies were carried out in summer on different routes, with shoulder lengths from 4.5 to 6.0 km and at altitudes from 1100 to 1180 m. In determining the estimated value of the traveling and transport fuel consumption, a dynamic coefficient was introduced taking into account the complexity of the operating conditions in mountain quarry roads.
