    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-saving_bias

    Time-saving bias is a concept that describes people's tendency to misestimate the time that could be saved (or lost) when increasing (or decreasing) speed. [1] [2] In general, people underestimate the time that could be saved when increasing from a relatively low speed—e.g., 25 mph (40 km/h) or 40 mph (64 km/h)—and overestimate the time ...

    The dimension of the measure is the product of the payload mass and the distance transported. Example. A semi truck traveling from Los Angeles to Chicago (approximate distance 2,015 miles) carrying 14 short tons of cargo delivers a service of 14 * 2,015 = 28,210 ton-miles of freight (equal to about 41,187 tkm).

  9. Fuel efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_efficiency

    v. t. e. Fuel efficiency (or fuel economy) is a form of thermal efficiency, meaning the ratio of effort to result of a process that converts chemical potential energy contained in a carrier ( fuel) into kinetic energy or work. Overall fuel efficiency may vary per device, which in turn may vary per application, and this spectrum of variance is ...
