VEHICLE’S SPEED, ACCELERATION AND
DECELERATION PROFILE STUDY
OBJECTIVE:
To determine vehicle speed, acceleration and deceleration profile study
EQUIPMENT/DATA REQUIRED:
Vehicle trajectory data using GPS data (provided by instructor)
THEORY:
PROCEDURE:
GPS data (including the speed and time) of vehicle trip will be provided
by the instructor. Apply the suitable smoothening techniques to reduce the
noise in the data, if any.
With the smoothened data, do the following task:
For Speed of the vehicle:
Determine the 15th, 25th, 50th 85th, 95th percentile and mean values of
speed for entire trip.
Draw the frequency diagram of vehicle’s speed choosing suitable bin
size. Justify yourselected bin size.
Explore the suitable distribution to describe the behavior of speed
distribution. Apply the necessary statistical test to evaluate the
suitability of fitted distribution.
For Acceleration and Deceleration Behaviour of the Vehicle:
1. Determine the 15th, 25th, 50th 85th, 95th percentile and mean values
of acceleration anddeceleration for entire trip.
2. Draw the frequency diagram of acceleration and deceleration values
by choosing suitable binsize.
3. Plot the variation of acceleration and deceleration with vehicle speed
by choosing suitable binsize (Plot the speed on X axis and
acceleration/deceleration on Y axis).
4. Comment of the acceleration and deceleration variation with speed
of the vehicle. Obtainedthe vehicles speed values corresponding to
maximum acceleration and deceleration of the vehicles.
5. Explore the suitable distribution to describe the behavior of acceleration
and Deceleration with vehicle’s speed. Apply the necessary statistical
test to evaluate the suitability of fitted distribution.
