Generation of an Driving Cycle in General

Wissenschaftlicher Aufsatz aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Ingenieurwissenschaften - Fahrzeugtechnik, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The energy consumption of vehicles is heavily depending on the operating environment in which they are used. To be able to create a realistic comparability of different products, legislation defined general conditions for the determination of specific values, such as consumption or emission-restriction. Part of these terms is the conventional driving cycle, a time-speed-profil, which helps to compare every vehicles within comparable terms. The choosen driving cycle has a strong impact on the development of vehicles, as the manufacturer optimize their drive concept in the shown operating range. Therefor it is very crucial that the driving cycle complies with the future field of application of of the vehicle. Only by this the consumption and the emission during operation can be minimized.
