An accurate technique of driving cycle development is important. Such a technique should be dominantly based on real-world driving behavior to ensure it represents the profile of the selected route. A driving cycle often is the combination of analyses of huge numbers of micro-trips under different conditions of traffic. This research is an initiative to improve the accuracy of the method of data collection; this contributes directly to one of the major procedures of driving cycle development, namely data collection. A driving cycle tracking device (DC-TRAD) is a device developed to improve the data collection strategy with integration of Internet-of-Things to manage the huge amount of data collected. A conceptual design of DC-TRAD is developed, and the flexibility of the device is made use in this research to compare and analyze the driving cycle of Kinta district.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
