cycle shall be referred to as vmax,cycle.
              The maximum speed of the vehicle shall be referred to as its capped speed vcap.
              If vcap is applied to a Class 3b vehicle, the Class 3b cycle as defined in paragraph 3.3.2. of this annex shall be used as the base cycle. This shall apply even if vcap is lower than 120 km/h.
              In the cases where vcap is applied, the base cycle shall be modified as described in paragraph 9.2. of this annex in order to achieve the same cycle distance for the capped speed cycle as for the base cycle.
              9.2. Calculation steps
              9.2.1. Determination of the distance difference per cycle phase
              An interim capped speed cycle shall be derived by replacing all vehicle speed samples vi where vi > vcap by vcap.
              9.2.1.1. If vcap < vmax,medium, the distance of the medium speed phases of the base cycle dbase,medium and the interim capped speed cycle dcap,medium shall be calculated using the following equation for both cycles:
                  for i = 590 to 1022
              where:
              vmax,medium is the maximum vehicle speed of the medium speed phase as listed in Table A1/2 for the Class 1 cycle, in Table A1/4 for the Class 2 cycle, in Table A1/8 for the Class 3a cycle and in Table A1/9 for the Class 3b cycle.
              9.2.1.2. If vcap < vmax,high, the distances of the high speed phases of the base cycle dbase,high and the interim capped speed cycle dcap,high shall be calculated using the following equation for both cycles:
for i = 1023 to 1477
              vmax,high is the maximum vehicle speed of the high speed phase as listed in Table A1/5 for the Class 2 cycle, in Table A1/10 for the Class 3a cycle and in Table A1/11 for the Class 3b cycle.
              9.2.1.3. This paragraph is only applicable for Level 1A;
              The distances of the extra high speed phase of the base cycle dbase,exhigh and the interim capped speed cycle dcap,exhigh shall be calculated applying the following equation to the extra high speed phase of both cycles:
           for i = 1478 to 1800
              9.2.2. Determination of the time periods to be added to the interim capped speed cycle in order to compensate for distance differences
              In order to compensate for a difference in distance between the base cycle and the interim capped speed cycle, corresponding time periods with vi = vcap shall be added to the interim capped speed cycle as described in paragraphs 9.2.2.1. to 9.2.2.3. inclusive of this annex.
              9.2.2.1. Additional time period for the medium speed phase
              If vcap < vmax,medium, the additional time period to be added to the medium speed phase of the interim capped speed cycle shall be
