Abstract

With the development of electric vehicles, more attention has been paid to the role of the driving cycle in vehicle performance testing. At present, the K-means algorithm is often used in the development of driving cycles. However, it is sensitive to the outlier points and also difficult to determine the K value. To solve this problem, the hierarchical cluster method is applied in this study. First, the real-world driving data are collected and denoised through wavelet domain denoising. Then, the data are divided into micro-trips and the characteristic parameters are extracted. The hierarchical cluster method is adopted to classify the micro-trips into different categories. An appropriate number of micro-trips are selected from each group in proportion to each category to assemble the driving cycle. Finally, both the economic simulation and the statistical analysis prove the accuracy of the generated driving cycle and the feasibility of the development method proposed in this paper.
