Abstract

With the development of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication and connected and automated vehicles (CAVs), multi-vehicle cooperative eco-driving shows great energy efficiency and transportation sustainability. As a multi-objective optimal control problem (OCP), how to coordinate the ecological velocity, motion planning and optimal energy management is a challenge. To address this issue, a cooperative eco-driving and energy management control strategy is developed for heterogeneous vehicle platoon among multiple signalized intersections. Firstly, a global eco-speed feasible area is derived by comprehensively considering signal phases and optimal terminal velocity that maximizes the passing number of following vehicles and collective fuel economy. Then, a soft actor-critic (SAC)-based cooperative eco-driving and energy management control strategy is proposed to keep a safe inter-vehicle distance and ecological velocity with minimum energy consumption and acceptable driving comfort.
