Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Fleet Size = 25
  • Vehicle Capacity = 2000
  • Annual Operational Days = 250
  • Annual Service Demand = 1000000
  • Trips per Vehicle per Day = 4
  • Average Route Efficiency Factor = 0.85

Expected Result:

  • Capacity Utilization Ratio = 0.023529411764706

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Capacity Utilization Ratio = 0.023529411764706 dimensionless.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.
