A Synthesis of Methodologies and Practices for Developing Driving Cycles

AbstractTransportation related emission is the dominant contributing source of air pollutants today. Considering the negative impacts of transportation related emissions on our social and economic environment, extensive efforts have been made by researchers and practitioners attempting to quantify the emissions. Driving cycle is an important concept in emission estimation models. In order to synthesize the research efforts, a comprehensive review of existing methodologies and practices for developing driving cycles is provided followed by a summary of the review results
