Abstract
Driving cycle has been used as a tool for improving the emission standard and fuel efficiency of the engine. Several researchers have developed the driving cycle by collecting the data with instrumented vehicle based on chasing the vehicle. Recent upcoming advent of microsimulation tools has made it easier to understand the driving cycle in real-world traffic condition with the help of online traffic data. Investigation of the driving cycle of the motorcycle is less investigated and researched in the UK due to its minority in number that leads to inaccurate emission inventory estimates. In this paper, several driving cycles which have been adopted for motorcycle type approval procedure have been reviewed and compared with the existing Edinburgh driving cycle in Edinburgh. A case study has been also made to develop the driving cycle of motorcycle in Edinburgh using microsimulation tool VISSIM and the preliminary results from a simulation-based driving cycle in Edinburgh has been reported.
