Introduction
摘要
A driving cycle is a time series of speeds that represent a driving pattern, which in turn describes the typical driving behavior observed in a specific region. The construction of driving cycles (DCs) has been a significant research focus due to their role in evaluating vehicle energy demands and pollutant emissions, and more recently, in optimizing energy management systems for electric vehicles (EVs). This chapter introduces the essence and purpose of the book ‘Fundamentals of Driving Patterns and Driving Cycles’ and provides an overview of its content.
