Summary

The optimization-based control algorithm is an engineering method for predictive cruise control that uses short-range radar and traffic signal information to schedule an optimum vehicle velocity trajectory. It is intended to guide vehicle motion relative to upcoming signal phases and nearby traffic.

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

This method is useful for coordinating vehicle speed with traffic signals and surrounding vehicles using predictive information. Source literature indicates that it targets improved fuel economy, reduced emissions, and reduced trip time in simulation case studies.

Problem solved

It addresses the control problem of planning a vehicle velocity trajectory that supports timely arrival at a green light with minimal braking while maintaining safe inter-vehicle distance and cruising at or near a set speed. The method specifically uses predictive traffic signal and short-range radar inputs to inform that trajectory scheduling.
