Multi-objective analysis of performance in mileage based on the minimization of several vehicle polluting features

Abstract

This paper analyses the fuel consumption and emissions of and from various kinds of automobiles. The aim is to identify the set of automobiles models that produce the least pollution and provide the higher mileage. To complete the analysis, a multi-objective optimization problem (MOP) has been proposed with a visual representation methodology of the Pareto front (Level Diagram); in this way, it has been determined that the highest compromise values corresponding to the utopian point determine a mileage performance of 16.30 [km/l]. Finally, it is important to highlight that the MOP has facilitated the analysis process, which helps the Decision Maker (DM) in the adequate selection of the final solution, based on the available knowledge of the set of optimal solutions.
