Summary:Given the rise in fuel prices and the harmful environmental consequences of excessive fuel consumption, we address a new problem in eco-driving, which examines how the upcoming V2V/V2I technology can be harnessed to improve fuel-efficiency. Unlike most of the existing studies in this area where the focus of control is on infrastructure side (i.e., signal timing plans), we present a new approach to eco-speed control at a microscopic level. We use a concept of platoon of vehicles to reduce fuel consumption in a journey covering multiple intersections in a multiple vehicle setting. Three heuristic algorithms are proposed and numerical results from simulations are also presented.
