Drive cycles for the rapid prototyping and consumer selection of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs)

混合动力电动汽车（HEV）、插电式混合动力电动汽车（PHEV）、增程式电动汽车（ER-EV）和电池电动汽车（BEV）形式的车辆电气化是道路运输的未来。 关于驾驶循环的知识，部分代表了车辆的行程速度和加速度曲线，是必不可少的，并贯穿于整个车辆研究。 混合动力汽车驱动循环提出了独特的挑战，例如，燃料消耗认证。 PHEV和ER-EV只是使认证更加复杂。 研究人员目前正在进行许多驾驶循环工作，以了解电动汽车在特定情况下使用特定车辆的行为，然而，在解决与决定使用哪种驾驶循环相关的问题方面仍然存在根本性的空白。

Vehicle electrification in the form of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in HEVs (PHEVs), extended-range electric vehicles (ER-EVs), and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is the future for road transportation. Knowledge about drive cycles, which represents in part a vehicle's trip speed and acceleration profile, is essential to, and pervasive throughout, vehicle research. HEV drive cycles present unique challenges, for example, to fuel consumption certification. PHEVs and ER-EVs simply complicate certification even further. Much drive cycle work is currently being pursued by researchers into understanding the behaviour of electrified vehicles in specific situations using specific vehicles, however, a fundamental void still exists with regards to addressing the problems associated with deciding on which drive cycle(s) to use.
