Abstract

Characterization of a vehicular driving cycle in terms of a joint density function for three variables- vehicle acceleration, vehicle speed, and road gradient- is presented. Application of this density function to determine the energy requirements associated with propelling a vehicle around a 47-mile city-suburban driving cycle is demonstrated.
