Abstract
Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVS) have the potential for improving fuel economy by changing the way vehicles are driven. Fuel economy can be improved through a wide range of technologies, many of which do not require Level 5 automation. One of the most promising technologies is a smart cruise control for which a speed-matching algorithm can be designed to account for fuel economy. Accounting for fuel economy in the algorithm leads to different driving behavior than simply matching the driver entered set speed. This paper describes the application of such a smart cruise control to a class 8 vehicle both in simulation and in the actual vehicle on a close test track. This paper evaluates the algorithm and describes the correlation procedure used to calibrate the model using test data from the vehicle.
