THE POSSIBILITIES OF PRODUCING AN ENGINE RELATED TEST CYCLE DERIVING FROM DRIVING SEQUENCES IN REAL WORLD TRAFFIC

All industrialised countries today test vehicles in order to gain approval for their use in traffic. All these tests are based on the same principle: running vehicles through a driving cycle comprising a certain distance and varying speed profiles on a so-called rolling road while measuring emissions and energy consumption. It has been shown in a previous report that driving cycles do not accurately represent real world traffic from the perspective of driving pattern sequences. This report investigates the possibilities of translating real world driving sequences into engine related sequences of engine speed and load.
