SYNTHESIS OF NATURALISTIC VEHICLE DRIVING CYCLES USING THE MARKOV CHAIN MONTE CARLO METHOD

Simulation methods commonly used throughout the design and verification process of various types of motor vehicles require development of naturalistic driving cycles. Optimization of parameters, testing and gradual increase in the degree of autonomy of vehicles is not possible based on standard driving cycles. Ensuring representativeness of synthesized time series based on collected databases requires algorithms using techniques based on stochastic and statistical models. A synthesis technique combining the MCMC method and multifractal analysis has been proposed and verified. The method allows simple determination of the speed profile compared to classic frequency analysis.
