In the present study, the effect of commuting by private cars on energy consumption has been evaluated, corresponding to real-time traffic data. On-road data for this study has been acquired during real-time operation of three sample four wheelers and with varying number of passenger occupancy. Variations in speed-time profile has been obtained with an ATmega microprocessor-based GPS data logger, at a sampling rate of 10 Hz. The relation between passenger occupancy and specific energy consumption of four-wheeled vehicles has been quantified for the city of Kolkata and the survey was extended to a total distance of 3796.32 km. It has been observed that the specific energy consumption for the test vehicles varied within a range of 0.489–3.413 MJ/pkm.
