Abstract
Driving cycle is one of the main inputs of vehicle emission modeling. However, the variability of driving cycles due to fluctuations in weather conditions is one of the primary sources of uncertainty in vehicle emission estimation. This study aims to identify and determine an optimal number of driving cycles that can correctly represent driving patterns in diverse weather conditions. First, a multivariate multiple regression model is developed to determine the most important weather factors affecting the driving patterns. Then, similar weather conditions are identified according to these factors using unsupervised machine learning. Next, two driving cycles are constructed for diverse weather types, one for weekdays and one for weekends. Afterward, descriptive analysis and a similarity matrix are employed to determine how similar the generated driving cycles are in different weather types. Finally, 15 driving cycles are identified to represent driving patterns in diverse driving conditions.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Sustainable Transportation provides a discussion forum for the exchange of new and innovative ideas on sustainable transportation research in the context of environmental, economical, social, and engineering aspects, as well as current and future interactions of transportation systems and other urban subsystems. The scope includes the examination of overall sustainability of any transportation system, including its infrastructure, vehicle, operation, and maintenance; the integration of social science disciplines, engineering, and information technology with transportation; the understanding of the comparative aspects of different transportation systems from a global perspective; qualitative and quantitative transportation studies; and case studies, surveys, and expository papers in an international or local context. Equal emphasis is placed on the problems of sustainable transportation that are associated with passenger and freight transportation modes in both industrialized and non-industrialized areas. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial evaluation by the Editors and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert reviewers. All peer review is single-blind. Submissions are made online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
