The purpose of this paper is to improve the understanding of driving conditions in India that are heterogeneous in nature.
The driving cycle data were collected using GPS on different types of both motorised and non-motorised modes of transport, e.g. car, auto rickshaw, bus, motorcycle and cycle rickshaw and bicycle on different traffic corridors in Delhi.
Research findings show that driving cycles differ for different types of vehicles. Therefore, each mode should be encouraged based on their average speed-time sequence in any traffic mix. The real-world driving cycle will be also useful for the understanding of fuel consumption and emissions in real-world scenarios in order to control vehicle emissions properly, achieve fuel efficiency and to obtain a more sustainable transport system. Originality/value -- This type of research has not been carried out in any Indian city.
