Investigation the Effect of the Data Frequency on the Driving Cycle of an Urban Bus Route

In this paper, focusing on a designated route of public transport in Debrecen, we examine the possibilities of creating a driving cycle representative for the route. The background of the work is, that in the framework of a larger-scale research project we examine the possibility of how to reduce the bus's emissions by modifying the drive chain of the current diesel vehicle. A dynamic model suitable for performing the calculations was developed, in which the movement of the vehicle in traffic is described by the driving cycle. The data provided by the data acquisition equipment of the bus on the designated route is available for the creation of the special driving cycle. In this paper, we look for the answer to the question: how the difference in data density affects the driving cycle and how it modifies the parameters describing its representativeness.
