The standard road cycle is represented graphically in the following figure:

Annex C4 - Appendix 3b

The kilometre accumulation cycles
This appendix is applicable to Level 1b only
       The manufacturer shall select one of the following three cycles for the whole vehicle durability test

       1. Pattern A

                    Driving pattern                                                                                            Distance ratio

Normal driving      All elements (idling, acceleration, deceleration, steady speed) shall be operated within less than 60km/h  more than 60 %

High speed driving  Steady speed whichever lower 100km/h or V_max                                                              more than 20 %

others              according to good engineering practice                                                                     no specific requirement as long as maintaining the above criteria

2.   Pattern B
                          Driving pattern                                                                      Distance ratio

Number of standing start  more than 20 times per hour

High speed driving        Steady speed whichever lower 100km/h or V_max                                        more than 8 %

Average speed             more than 45km/h

others                    All elements (idling, acceleration, deceleration, steady speed) shall be operated.

                          Expected more severe driving pattern than Table C4/App3b.1 in term of deterioration
