2011 Virginia Tech Transportation Institute Eco-CACC
Study
Study
highlights:
•Proposed
a system that combines a predictive eco-cruise control system (ECC) with a car-following model to develop an eco-CACC system
•Model
uses the Virginia Tech Comprehensive Power-based Fuel Model (VT-CPFM) to compute the optimum fuel-efficient vehicle control strategies
2002 Monte Carlo Simulation of System-Wide CACC Impacts
Study
highlights:
•VanderWerf
et al. conducted a Monte Carlo simulation study to quantify the system-wide impacts of a CACC system versus ACC and non-cruise control driving
•Study
concluded that a significant headway reduction was possible with CACC and up to a 100% increase in capacity
•Strongly
justifies dedicating a highway lane to CACC-equipped vehicles
