Ageing of refrigerated transport vehicles: development of a numerical predictive model.

Summary

Ageing is a common problem for refrigerated vehicles. It involves both physio-chemical and mechanical factors. This phenomenon is quantified by the comparison of the š¾ value of the in-service vehicles at twelve years of use with the š¾ value of their prototypes. The DatafrigĀ® database, managed by Cemafroid, records more than 350 000 vehicles having almost one hundred features, including š¾ coefficient values. This amount of data opens up the opportunity to predict the ageing by building a numerical model, using supervised machine learning techniques. This paper presents the development of a model using a random forest algorithm. Results based on a first dataset, composed of 1158 vehicles extracted from the DatafrigĀ® database, agree with the knowledge of the experts from field experience as well as with previous studies based on statistical analysis. After a careful feature selection, the mean percentage error reached by the model for this first dataset is estimated at 6%.
