Abstract

Driving cycle offers a comprehensive understanding of operational features throughout the waste collection and transportation (C&T) process, which is critical for optimizing waste management aiming at reducing energy use and environmental pollution. In this study, the Micro-trip method, combined with principal component and cluster analysis, was adopted to divide the C&T process into five operational phases. Considering diverse waste types and C&T modes, four driving cycles were synthesized for garbage trucks. The average speeds of garbage truck cycles are considerably lower, coupled with prolonged idle durations, marking a substantial deviation from standard cycles. Additionally, the OpMode-bin method was employed to estimate fuel consumption for both garbage truck cycles and standard cycles. The results reveal that using standard cycles generally results in an underestimation of fuel consumption by 20 % to 30 %, which highlights the necessity of developing specific driving cycles to ensure accurate fuel use and emission quantification for garbage trucks.

Introduction

The management of municipal solid waste (MSW) poses a great challenge to the sustainable development of cities, especially the energy consumption and environmental pollution concerns (Hua et al., , Heidari et al., , Mohsenizadeh et al., ). Along the entire chain of MSW management, waste collection and transportation (C&T) accounts for a substantial portion of the overall expenditures (Quintili and Castellani, ), and over 80 % of energy consumption is attributed to this process (Nabavi-Pelesaraei et al., ). Additionally, garbage trucks produce high amounts of tailpipe emissions and noise pollution within neighborhoods, and yield considerable energy-related greenhouse gas emissions (Toller et al., , Sutthasil et al., ). Nevertheless, due to the scarcity of fundamental data pertaining to the waste C&T process, energy consumption and emissions in current lifecycle studies of MSW management are often treated as distance-related variables, neglecting the impact of vehicle driving status (Mamashli and Javadian, , Zhou et al., ). This oversight hinders the precise quantification of the economic and environmental impacts across the entire MSW management chain. Hence, depicting the driving characteristics of garbage trucks throughout the waste C&T process is crucial for optimizing MSW management practices to reduce energy usage and environmental pollution. The driving cycle, which comprises a time series of vehicle speeds reflecting real-world driving patterns for specific vehicle types, emerges as a valuable tool. It aids in characterizing vehicle’s driving features and quantifying their energy consumption and pollutant emissions (Achour and Olabi, , Lin and Niemeier, ).Moreover, the driving cycle is also a vital foundation of vehicle design, simulation, performance testing, and control strategy formulation (Bender et al., , Ye et al., ). However, existing driving cycles primarily concentrate on conventional vehicles or transit buses (Mongkonlerdmanee and Koetniyom, , Tong and Ng, a), while garbage trucks have received less attention. Due to the lack of exclusive driving cycles tailored for garbage trucks, their testing had to rely on the standard cycles established for ordinary heavy-duty trucks (HTs). However, garbage trucks, as specialized vehicles, undergo distinct driving stages during their operation, including trash collection, transport, and return, which are not encountered by ordinary vehicles (Farzaneh et al., ). Consequently, this reliance on generic cycles of HTs for garbage trucks would lead to significant errors in the outcomes of related research such as garbage truck design and optimization, testing and certification, fuel consumption and emission estimation, and so on (Bender et al., , Giechaskiel et al., , Mafi et al., ). Therefore, it is imperative to develop and adopt driving cycles that are specifically designed for garbage trucks.In light of this, this study collected operational data from garbage vehicles engaged in different waste types and C&T modes in Xi'an, and analyzed their typical driving and fuel consumption characteristics. Specifically, the main contributions of this research are embodied in threefold: (1) the representative driving cycles tailored for garbage trucks were established by taking into account their actual working process; (2) the driving features of garbage vehicles were analyzed under different C&T modes, as well as various operational phases; and (3) the fuel consumption differences between garbage truck cycles and standard cycles were assessed, and the fuel consumption characteristics of garbage vehicles during different operational phases were also compared. The results will provide methodological support for the planning of waste C&T systems and the designing of specialized garbage vehicles.

Literature review

To grasp vehicle’s operating features, current research has developed various driving cycles around the world. Besides official standard test cycles, a large number of studies have focused on creating regular driving cycles to represent the traffic characteristics of entire road network. For vehicles with specific purposes, their driving conditions differ significantly from those of conventional vehicles due to their unique operating regions and usage scenarios. Currently, there is limited

Materials and methods

As one well-accepted approach, the MT method entails several key steps: data collection, data division, characteristic parameters extraction, micro-trips selection and cycle synthesis. Detailed explanations of each individual step are outlined below.

Driving cycle construction and validation

The driving cycles derived for four types of garbage trucks are depicted in Fig. 3. Notably, the resultant cycle durations of DC-DTF, DC-DTR, DC-CR, and DC-TR are  s,  s,  s, and  s, respectively. Giraldo et al. () analyzed the impact of varying driving cycle durations on their representativeness and concluded that the driving cycle must last at least  s to ensure adequate representation. All driving cycles developed in this study meet this criterion. Both DC-DTF and

Conclusions

Using real-world driving data collected from garbage trucks in Xi’an, China, this study divide the C&T process into five distinct operational phases through cluster analysis. Based on this classification, four representative driving cycles were created accounting for different waste types and C&T modes, which are DC-DTF, DC-DTR, DC-CR, and DC-TR. Specifically, DC-DTF encompasses five operational phases that capture the driving patterns of food waste (FW) trucks throughout the entire waste C&T
