description This study is the first of a two-part paper. The overall study presents a new methodology to improve the accuracy of hybrid vehicles&#8217; energy-consumption model over conventional transportation modeling methods. The first paper attempts to improve an equation for vehicles&#8217; driving-power estimation to be more realistic and specific for a particular vehicle model or fleet. The second paper adopts the driving-power equation to estimate the requested driving power. Then, the data are utilized to construct the hybrid-vehicle energy-consumption model, namely, the traction-force&#8722;speed-based energy-consumption model (TFS model). The main concept of the first paper is to utilize the power-split hybrid powertrain&#8217;s accessible on-board diagnostics (OBD) dataset, and its dynamic model to estimate the total propulsion power. Then, propulsion power was applied as the main parameter for driving-power equation development and vehicle-specific coefficient calibration. For coefficient calibration, this study implemented the stepwise multiple regression method to select and calibrate an optimal set of coefficients. Results showed that conventional driving-power equations Vehicle-Specific Power (VSP) LDV 1999 and VSP Prius3Spec provide low prediction fidelity, especially under high-speed (&gt;80 km/h) and heavy-load driving (&#8805;50 kW).

For the coefficient-calibration part, the stepwise and multiple regression method is low-cost and simple, allowing to calibrate an appropriate set of optimal coefficients for a specific vehicle model or fleet.
