Project Abstract

A mathematical framework allows optimization of the speed profile and selection of the optimal gears for heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) traveling on highways while varying parameters.

Project Outcome

Improved the fuel economy of HDVs by exploiting vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) connectivity.
