Abstract :
This paper considers modeling of vehicle driving conditions using transition probability models (TPMs) for applications of dynamic optimization. The properties of transition probabilities for vehicle speed, vehicle acceleration, and road grade are discussed based on the analysis and experimental vehicle data. The KL-divergence is shown to provide an effective metric that can differentiate similar driving conditions from dissimilar ones.
