A Comprehensive Eco‐Cooperative Driving, Considering a Suitable Energy Consumption Model in the Proximity of a Signalized Intersection

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly gaining popularity due to zero greenhouse gas emissions and some other privileges. However, limited battery capacity and drive range are known as the main obstacles to the widespread usage of EVs. Signalized intersections are among the bottleneck situations, in which the transportation systems are away from their optimal operation point. Eco‐driving is an effective solution for dealing with idle stop‐and‐go issue before the signalized intersections, which is attainable thanks to the merits of advanced connected vehicle (ACV) technology. In this study, an eco‐cooperative driving strategy is presented in proximity to the signalized intersections, considering driver comfort. First, Virginia Tech’s microscopic (VT‐Micro) model is developed, taking into account road slope and regenerative braking energy. Then, using the model, all optimal acceleration and deceleration levels for uphill, flat, and downhill scenarios with consideration of driver comfort are determined. Finally, the effectiveness of the eco‐cooperative driving strategy is examined.
