Abstract
Driving cycle of vehicle has been used in emission estimation and fuel consumption study. Existing method of data collection using car chasing technique is expensive. The technique using micro simulation approach is cheaper and fast to derive the driving cycle. In this paper a traffic simulation model Driving Cycle Micro-Simulation Model for Motorcycle has been developed. The issue of lateral and longitudinal movement aspect in motorcycle driving has been examined in the model. Parameters to cover such movement have been built in the model and applied on a stretch in Edinburgh city of Scotland. Results from model have been both calibrated and validated. The results show that Driving Cycle Micro-Simulation Model for Motorcycle gives better representation of driving cycle and it can be used to understand the effect of driving modes on emission for better understanding of vehicular emission control.

Its calibration and validation has been done using different sets of realworld data of driving cycle of Edinburgh Motorcycle Driving Cycles (EMDC) and results of Driving Cycle Micro-Simulation Model for Motorcycle (DCMSMM) have been compared with published parameters of EMDC [1] and corresponding emission factor (EF) are evaluated
Summary
This Traditional chase car method, and on board method for data collection of driving cycle are expensive in nature [1]. Traffic micro-simulation models can simulate/ represent individual driver behavior and the real world driving cycles in laboratory for vehicles and roads in cost effective manner using secondary data [2]. Modelling individual driving cycle for motorcycle is done by simulating the speed of vehicles second-by-second basis. In this paper, Driving Cycle Micro-Simulation Model for Motorcycle (DCMSMM) for a section of urban network in Edinburgh has been developed. Its calibration and validation has been done using different sets of realworld data of driving cycle of Edinburgh Motorcycle Driving Cycles (EMDC) and results of DCMSMM have been compared with published parameters of EMDC [1] and corresponding emission factor (EF) are evaluated
