3D Road Geometry Based Optimal Truck Fuel Economy [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
This paper investigates the benefit of using a 3D road geometry based optimal powertrain control strategy in reducing the fuel consumption of heavy trucks. The optimal control, which applies a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method, is designed to predict the optimal truck velocity trajectory, based on the road geometry with the consideration of fuel consumption and travel time. The fuel consumption baseline is developed based on an engineering drive cycle. Computer simulations of a Class 8 truck are conducted with Intermap real 3D road geometry. Simulation results show that the optimal control strategy is able to reduce the fuel consumption with equal or even shorter travel time, when compared to the defined baseline.
