Smart and Green Adaptive Cruise Control for an Electric Vehicle: first results

This paper concerns the development of the Smart and Green Adaptive Cruise Control aiming at controlling the ego vehicle speed taking into account the road data in order to optimize the energy consumption while improving safety (no collision, under the legal speed, up to the safe headway). A graph search algorithm of Dijkstra is used to build up a velocity pattern offering the best compromise between energy consumed and covered time.
