I had a recent question on how to create a new driving cycle for ADVISOR.
The easiest way to make a new driving cycle file is to open CYC_SKELETON.m in the data/drive_cycle folder, save it as a new name, and update the data inside of it. Once you've done this, on the "Simulation parameters" screen, you can click the "drive cycle" button and click "Add to list" to add your new drive cycle to the list. There are instructions in CYC_SKELETON for loading a new speed versus time trace from a matlab MAT file.
Hope this helps,
