Evaluation of the Minimum Number of Local Driving Cycles Required to Represent the Traffic of Distinct Cities: A Case Study of Two Brazilian Metropolises
Abstract:This study aimed to determine whether a single local driving cycle (LDC) can effectively represent different cities in the same country, in both urban and highway routes, and for cars and motorcycles. To achieve this, experienced drivers drove different monitored vehicles (five cars and three motorcycles) on seven selected routes in two Brazilian states (Pernambuco and São Paulo State), collecting 170 h of speed data in urban and highway routes during peak and off-peak hours. Using the micro-trip and Markov ch… Show more
