Developing and Testing an Eco-Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control System for Buses
Publication: International Conference on Transportation and Development 2020
ABSTRACT
The transportation sector is recognized as one of the several sources of environmental problems produced by human activity in the U.S., according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The U.S. plays an outsized role: research shows that 45% of the world’s automotive CO2 emissions come from automobiles in the U.S. Because of the pollutant emissions of internal combustion engines, the transportation sector is the main producer of greenhouse gas emissions. Researchers have considered technological solutions such as eco-driving to solve such problems. Eco-driving reduces excessive fuel consumption and greenhouse emissions by adjusting or enhancing drivers’ behaviors such as maintaining a steady speed, avoiding heavy acceleration and deceleration, anticipating the traffic flow ahead, and minimizing idling time. Several countries implemented eco-driving and demonstrated its efficient results; depending on the type of vehicle, the fuel consumption savings can be up to 30%. Implementing an eco-driving system that displays information such as average fuel efficiency and instantaneous acceleration results in a short-term reduction in fuel consumption. The result of a study using a driving simulator showed that faster but shorter acceleration/deceleration is more fuel-efficient than milder but longer acceleration/deceleration when compared over the same time span.
