Development of Driving Cycle Construction Methodology in Malaysia's Urban Road System

摘要

This paper presents a driving cycle construction methodology in Malaysia's urban road system by utilizing on-road data collection from Kuala Lumpur. Micro trip cycle construction approach is use in this study to construct driving cycle for Malaysia's urban road system. The driving cycle constructed using this approach is a transient driving cycle similar to WLTC, JC08 and FTP-75 driving cycles, which is experimental based and are more reflecting the actual driving conditions hence has more representatives comparing to polygonal driving cycles such as NEDC and J10–15 mode driving cycles. It was found that the characteristic of the newly developed driving cycle in Malaysia's urban road system has small relative percentages when compared to the target parameters (whole database) hence it is best represent the driving condition in Kuala Lumpur. The cycle construction methodology proposed in this study is appropriate for developing urban driving cycles, though some improvements need to be considered to increase the representativeness of the driving cycle.
