Abstract:

In the investigation of the driving cycles of vehicles. the selection of experimental routes is known to be a significant factor in achieving objecitiveness and representativeness 0f the measured and resolved driving cycles.In this paper,the process of selecting experimental routes for the investigation into bus driving cycles in Guangzhou is introduced.A double-key-factor method for the selection is proposed according to on.site investigations and ana.lyses.This method is based on the average transiting speed and the standard deviation of transiting speed between two stations.The proposed method is applied to the selection of 1 5 experimental routes for the investigation into the bus driving cycles in Guangzhou.Data analysis result shows that the 1 5 routes fully represent the bus driving cycles in Guangzhou.

Key words: bus, driving cycle, route selection
