The New York Composite (NYComp) cycle is a chassis dynamometer test for heavy-duty vehicles representative of actual driving patterns in New York City. The following are selected parameters of the NYComp cycle:
- Duration: 1029 s
- Total driving distance: 4.06 km (2.52 mi)
- Maximum speed: 57.92 km/h (36.0 mph)
- Average speed: 14.25 km/h (8.85 mph)
- Average speed without stops: 20.0 km/h (12.43 mph)
- Maximum acceleration: 5.41 m/s2
- Average acceleration: 0.48 m/s2
- Number of stops per km: 4
Vehicle speed over the duration of the NYComp test is shown in Figure 1.
