Title:
Arterial Roadway Velocity Planning Algorithms to Minimize Fuel Consumptions and Vehicle Emissions
Abstract:
With increasing environmental awareness, much focus has been placed on reducing vehicle emissions and increasing the fuel economy. Vehicle fuel consumption and emissions are directly related to the acceleration/deceleration patterns as well as the idling period. In order to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy, sharp acceleration/deceleration and idling should be avoided as much as possible. Unlike on freeways, traffic on signalized corridors suffers from increased fuel consumption and emissions due to idling and acceleration/deceleration maneuvers at traffic signals. By taking advantage of the recent developments in communication technology between vehicles and roadside infrastructure, it is possible for vehicles to receive the signal phase and timing information well in advance of approaching a signalized intersection. Arterial speed advice system uses the advanced signal information to give dynamic speed advice to the driver so that the fuel consumption and emissions are minimized. Also this system ensures that the travel time is not increased. This system is similar to the intelligent cruise control system with added constraints for reducing the idling time and minimizing the fuel consumption/emissions. The arterial roadway velocity planning algorithm can be viewed as a multi constraint complex optimization problem. This algorithm aims at minimizing the acceleration/deceleration rates and the idling time at the signals based on signal timing information. It also takes into consideration the safety by adding constraint on the minimum inter-vehicle spacing to be maintained by the arterial speed advice system equipped vehicle based on the relative velocity between the arterial speed advice system equipped vehicle and the preceding vehicle. Also this algorithm takes into consideration the human reaction time while giving the speed advice to the driver. This algorithm doesn’t require inter-vehicle communication. It gets inter-vehicle spacing information using the on-board sensor and the signal information from the road side infrastructure using wireless communication.
