Abstract

The driving range and patterns of private passenger vehicle in Beijing are discussed in this paper, basing on the advanced GPS travel survey. From the sample of 106 cars, 1652 days and 3920 trips collected in the second half of 2012 and early 2013, the distribution of daily driving range, time and frequency are calculated out. The results show that in Beijing, the daily vehicle kilometers travelled of the year 2012-2013 is 33.5km, and the driving time is 1.6h per day. Besides, there are 2.4 driving trips per day on average, when the average range is 14.1km per trip. The battery electric vehicle (BEV) may cover 80% daily travel with the all-electric range (AER) set as 60km. If the BEV is charged reasonably, its applicability and endurance will be better.
