Highlights Analyses of driving cycles of a vehicle fleet with predetermined urban itineraries. A polygonal driving cycle is used to assesses the kinematic cycles of the routes traveled, segments cycles into micro-cycles. The process is used to study public bus operations in Madrid.

    Abstract This paper analyses the driving cycles of a fleet of vehicles with predetermined urban itineraries. Most driving cycles developed for such type of vehicles do not properly address variability among itineraries. Here we develop a polygonal driving cycle that assesses each group of related routes, based on microscopic parameters. It measures the kinematic cycles of the routes traveled by the vehicle fleet, segments cycles into micro-cycles, and characterizes their properties, groups them into clusters with homogeneous kinematic characteristics within their specific micro-cycles, and constructs a standard cycle for each cluster. The process is used to study public bus operations in Madrid.
