The goal of the project was to develop a novel Eco-Cooperative Automated Control (Eco-CAC) system that integrates vehicle dynamics (VD) control with connected and automated vehicle (CAV) applications. In particular, the team developed a novel integrated control system that (1) routes vehicles in a fuel/energy-efficient manner for internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), battery-only electric vehicles (BEVs), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs); (2) selects vehicle speeds based on anticipated traffic network evolution; (3) minimizes vehicle fuel/energy consumption near signalized intersections; and (4) intelligently modulates the longitudinal motion of vehicles within a cooperative platoon to minimize its fuel/energy consumption.
