Development of the Driving Cycle for Dalian City

The actual driving data of Dalian city is collected by GPS devices and divided into kinematics sequences. After characteristic parameters of the kinematics sequences are calculated, this paper makes component analysis and cluster analysis to extract the representative driving data. The driving cycle of Dalian is constructed based on the analysis result of the representative driving data. The driving cycle of Dalian is compared with the driving cycles of Zhuzhou city and Chinese typical city. Comparison result shows that Dalian driving cycle is crowded.
