Abstract
This paper proposes a methodology to obtain a synthetic driving cycle by using GPS data as input. The aim is to obtain a driving cycle that is representative of a given condition when used for energy consumption studies. The methodology begins with a data acquisition phase, where an adequate sampling frequency is proposed. Velocity raw data are processed and clustered to capture a mobility global pattern. A synthetic driving cycle is generated from the clustered information using a two level energy model optimization. For a case study, a representative synthetic driving cycle was determined for a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route.
