Title
Real-Time Predictive Cruise Control for Eco-Driving Taking into Account Traffic Constraints
Abstract
This paper proposes a predictive cruise control based on eco-driving for a passage car that uses the information of upcoming traffic limits and the preceding vehicle to realize better fuel economy. To fully exploit the inherent potential of the powertrain system to reduce fuel consumption, the velocity is obtained by optimizing the engine torque, the brake force, and the gearshift while ensuring safe distance separation and traffic speed limits. The problem is described as a nonlinear mixed-integer problem and solved by the concept of combining Pontryaginu0027s minimum principle and bisection method. The simulation results show a significant improvement in computational efficiency compared with traditional numerical methods, and the simulation results also show that the computational time increases linearly with prediction horizon. It is shown that an improvement of 8% in fuel is achieved in a realistic scenario compared with a basic vehicle using a standard adaptive cruise control.
