A statistical method for driving cycle construction based on path geometry

摘要

This paper developed a method for constructing a driving cycle for vehicle simulation and analysis reflecting the driver behavior in real traffic condition based on path geometry. Markov Chain approach was employed to construct a model to generate the driving cycle comprised of three cycle profiles i.e., speed profile, gradient profile and curvature profile. The driving cycle is derived from extensive testing data under the real driving condition through a series of statistical analysis.
