The ratio of kinetic energy gained to chemical or electric energy consumed during acceleration. Must be in the range [0.01, 1].

The ratio of chemical or electric energy recovered to kinetic energy lost during deceleration. Must be in the range [0.01, 1/acceleration]. For combustion vehicles, regardless of that ratio, because the vehicle cannot recuperate energy, the actual amount of energy saved is capped so that the net consumption on any route segment will never be negative.
