Enhanced eco-driving system based on V2X communication

The concept of Eco-driving is proposed to reduce the fuel consumption of vehicles while maintaining dynamic performance. MPC controller has been introduced to achieve comprehensive goals including safety, fuel consumption and comfort of driving. Yet the information of the surrounded vehicles and road conditions have not been fully utilized. An enhanced algorithm taking the driving style of preceding vehicle, host vehicle drivers and road information into account is proposed in this paper. It is tested by the results of simulation that the controller becomes more flexible and can reduce the fuel consumption of the controlled vehicle in different working conditions with the help of the enhanced algorithm.
