Driving Cycle Forecast

This section provides information about how to use a driving cycle for the definition of the prognosis calculation rules in ASCMO-STATIC.

A transient driving cycle is a series of data points involving many changes representing the speed of a vehicle versus time. Driving cycles assess the performance of vehicles in various ways, as for example fuel consumption and polluting emissions.

Fuel consumption and emission tests are performed on chassis dynamometers. Tailpipe emissions are collected and measured to indicate the performance of the vehicle. Another use for driving cycles in vehicle simulations such as ASCMO-STATIC.
