Nowadays researchers and car-makers are working on autonomous vehicles related topics towards solutions that employ detailed road network information derived from 3D maps. In this context, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are getting more and more widespread on automotive market. Information on the upcoming horizon is used to enhance vehicle drivability, comfort, energy efficiency and driver...
The performance of a method for reducing the fuel consumption of a heavy duty vehicle (HDV) is described and evaluated both in simulation and using a real HDV. The method, which involves speed profile optimization using a genetic algorithm, was applied to a set of road profiles (covering sections of 10 km), resulting in average fuel savings of 11.5% and 10.2% (relative to standard cruise control),...
The purpose of the look-ahead control is to design the speed of a vehicle in order to minimize longitudinal control energy while keeping travelling time and, moreover, considering topographic data and speed limits along the road. The paper proposes the extension of the control design with local traffic information in such a way that a balance between the designed speed and the traffic flow is guaranteed...
