Abstract:Jing Dong (orcid.org/0000-0002-7304-8430); Liang Hu (orcid.org/0000-0001-6351-8542); Chaoru Lu (orcid.org/0000-0001-8418-7658); Connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) technologies are likely to be gradually implemented over time and in a traffic environment consisting of a significant share of alternative fuel vehicles, such as flexible-fuel, plug-in electric, and fuel cell vehicles. This work proposes the use of rule-based ecological adaptive cruise control strategies—the ecological smart driver model (Eco-SDM) for gasoline CAVs and the energy-efficient electric driving model (E3DM) for electric CAVs (e-CAVs)—to improve the energy efficiency of individual vehicles and traffic flow. By adjusting the spacing between the leading and the following vehicles, the Eco-SDM provides smoother deceleration and acceleration than the adaptive cruise control strategies based on intelligent driver model-adaptive cruise control (IDM-ACC) and the Nissan model (Nissan-ACC). The E3DM is able to maintain high energy efficiency of regenerative braking by adjusting the spacing between the leading and the following vehicles.
