Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for predicting fuel consumption for a vehicle operation is provided. Data for historical vehicle operations is stored in an associative memory and includes values for different attribute categories. The values of the attribute categories for the historical vehicle operations are compared to values of the attribute categories for a planned vehicle operation to identify historical vehicle operations that are most similar to the planned vehicle operation. Historical vehicle operations that are most similar to the planned vehicle operation are returned from the associative memory and the fuel consumption values for the historical vehicle operations are used to generate a predicted fuel consumption for the planned vehicle operation. An average, weighted average, maximum, or minimum fuel consumption value from the historical vehicle operations could be used as the predicted fuel consumption value for the planned vehicle operation.
