Description
Summary:This paper deals with minimisation of fuel consumption under real driving conditions using a vehicle speed advisor. The aim is to explore the potential of speed profile optimisation in real driving conditions while assessing the suitability of an application which recommends the driver the optimal vehicle speed sequence that minimises the fuel consumption on a particular route. The speed advisor is based on solving the Optimal Control problem of covering a particular route with minimum fuel consumption with a defined time constraint. The approach presented was applied to and implemented on a real passenger vehicle to obtain a trade-off between fuel consumption and travel time for several trips on the route. Experimental results are presented with and without advisory. With speed advisor, the results approach the pareto front with lesser dispersion. On the other hand, without advisory, the dispersion is higher and largely above the pareto front.
