5.3 STANDARD DUTY CYCLES<br />

Time [s]<br />

Fig. 51. Implemented <strong>Truck</strong> 4 <strong>Duty</strong> <strong>Cycle</strong> (Run 5271-4)<br />

The third set of duty cycles tested at WVU was a standard EPA duty cycle. Specifically the <strong>Heavy</strong><br />

<strong>Duty</strong> UDDS duty cycle, which is a transient chassis dynamometer test cycle <strong>for</strong> heavy duty vehicles,<br />

was used at WVU. Fig. 52 shows this specific duty. Notice that although cycles such as this may not<br />

really reflect real-world driving, they were included in the dyno tests <strong>for</strong> completeness.<br />

Fig. 53 presents the actual implementation of the EPA <strong>Heavy</strong> <strong>Duty</strong> UDDS (run 5270-2 is shown).<br />

The implemented duty cycle was very close to the theoretical duty cycle shown in Fig. 52, in both<br />

shape and scale (i.e., the speeds and times were almost a perfect match).<br />
