Vehicle to Infrastructure Communication Based Eco Driving Operation at Multiple Signalized Intersections
Eco driving using V2I communication at multiple intersections has significant fuel benefit for road transportation. This paper presents a fuel saving strategy for vehicle travelling in between two red signalized intersections. An optimal control problem (OCP) is formulated to minimize fuel consumption and solved by Legendre pseudo spectral (LPS) method. It is found that the optimal driving operation falls into either two stage or three stage mode. The occurrence of different states is related to intersection distance under certain speed limit. In addition, a sub optimal operating strategy is proposed to determine the travelling trajectory for real time implementation, achieving a faster computational speed than LPS.
