  "text": "Introduction\nThe standard road cycle (SRC) is a kilometre accumulation cycle. The vehicle may be run on a test track or on a kilometre accumulation dynamometer.\nThe cycle consists of 7 laps of a 6 km course. The length of the lap may be changed to accommodate the length of the mileage accumulation test track.\nStandard Road cycle\nLap\nDescription\nTypical acceleration rate m/s2\n1\n(start engine) idle 10 seconds\n0\n1\nModerate acceleration to 48 km/h\n1,79\n1\nCruise at 48 km/h for 1/4 lap\n0\n1\nModerate deceleration to 32 km/h\n– 2,23\n1\nModerate acceleration to 48 km/h\n1,79\n1\nCruise at 48 km/h for 1/4 lap\n0\n1\nModerate deceleration to stop\n– 2,23\n1\nIdle 5 seconds\n0\n1\nModerate acceleration to 56 km/h\n1,79\n1\nCruise at 56 km/h for 1/4 lap\n0\n1\nModerate deceleration to 40 km/h\n– 2,23\n1\nModerate acceleration to 56 km/h\n1,79\n1\nCruise at 56 km/h for 1/4 lap\n0\n1\nModerate deceleration to stop\n– 2,23\n2\nidle 10 seconds\n0\n2\nModerate acceleration to 64 km/h\n1,34\n2\nCruise at 64 km/h for 1/4 lap\n0\n2\nModerate deceleration to 48 km/h\n– 2,23\n2\nModerate acceleration to 64 km/h\n1,34\n2\nCruise at 64 km/h for 1/4 lap\n0\n2\nModerate deceleration to stop\n– 2,23\n2\nIdle 5 seconds\n0\n2\nModerate acceleration to 72 km/h\n1,34\n2\nCruise at 72 km/h for 1/4 lap\n0\n2\nModerate deceleration to 56 km/h\n– 2,23\n2\nModerate acceleration to 72 km/h\n1,34\n2\nCruise at 72 km/h for 1/4 lap\n0\n2\nModerate deceleration to stop\n– 2,23\n3\nidle 10 seconds\n0\n3\nHard acceleration to 88 km/h\n1,79\n3\nCruise at 88 km/h for 1/4 lap\n0\n3\nModerate deceleration to 72 km/h\n– 2,23\n3\nModerate acceleration to 88 km/h\n0,89\n3\nCruise at 88 km/h for 1/4 lap\n0\n3\nModerate deceleration to 72 km/h\n– 2,23\n3\nModerate acceleration to 97 km/h\n0,89\n3\nCruise at 97 km/h for 1/4 lap\n0\n3\nModerate deceleration to 80 km/h\n– 2,23\n3\nModerate acceleration to 97 km/h\n0,89\n3\nCruise at 97 km/h for 1/4 lap\n0\n3\nModerate deceleration to stop\n– 1,79\n4\nidle 10 seconds\n0\n4\nHard acceleration to 129 km/h\n1,34\n4\nCoastdown to 113 km/h\n– 0,45\n4\nCruise at 113 km/h for 1/2 lap\n0\n4\nModerate deceleration to 80 km/h\n– 1,34\n4\nModerate acceleration to 105 km/h\n0,89\n4\nCruise at 105 km/h for 1/2 lap\n0\n4\nModerate deceleration to 80 km/h\n– 1,34\n5\nModerate acceleration to 121 km/h\n0,45\n5\nCruise at 121 km/h for 1/2 lap\n0\n5\nModerate deceleration to 80 km/h\n– 1,34\n5\nLight acceleration to 113 km/h\n0,45\n5\nCruise at 113 km/h for 1/2 lap\n0\n5\nModerate deceleration to 80 km/h\n– 1,34\n6\nModerate acceleration to 113 km/h\n0,89\n6\nCoastdown to 97 km/h\n– 0,45\n6\nCruise at 97 km/h for 1/2 lap\n0\n6\nModerate deceleration to 80 km/h\n– 1,79\n6\nModerate acceleration to 104 km/h\n0,45\n6\nCruise at 104 km/h for 1/2 lap\n0\n6\nModerate deceleration to stop\n– 1,79\n7\nidle 45 seconds\n0\n7\nHard acceleration to 88 km/h\n1,79\n7\nCruise at 88 km/h for 1/4 lap\n0\n7\nModerate deceleration to 64 km/h\n– 2,23\n7\nModerate acceleration to 88 km/h\n0,89\n7\nCruise at 88 km/h for 1/4 lap\n0\n7\nModerate deceleration to 64 km/h\n– 2,23\n7\nModerate acceleration to 80 km/h\n0,89\n7\nCruise at 80 km/h for 1/4 lap\n0\n7\nModerate deceleration to 64 km/h\n– 2,23\n7\nModerate acceleration to 80 km/h\n0,89\n7\nCruise at 80 km/h for 1/4 lap\n0\n7\nModerate deceleration to stop\n– 2,23\nThe standard road cycle is represented graphically in the following figure:",
