Summary:

Range estimation for electric vehicles based on standard drive cycles generally underestimates energy consumption and fails to accurately represent the actual driving characteristics. This paper aims to develop a representative driving cycle for electric two-wheelers that emulate the real-world driving scenario in Lucknow, India. The micro-trip-based random selection scheme is used to form the drive cycle. The onboard Global Positioning System (GPS) module is used to log vehicle speed data for every second, and nine assessment parameters were used to analyze the candidate drive cycles. The total duration of the developed drive cycle is 1800 s, and the length is 17.45 km. Traffic attributes of the developed drive cycle are compared with the India drive cycle (IDC), Delhi motorcycle drive cycle (DMDC), and Edinburgh motorcycle drive cycle (EMDC). A comparison of the estimated energy requirement of the developed drive cycle with IDC indicates that the estimated actual energy requirement (Wh/km) is 46.9% higher than estimated with IDC. Comparative analysis reveals the significant differences that emphasize the need for developing city-specific cycles
