Energy-Efficient CACC – Problem OverviewWhat is Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control?
Cruise Control (CC): Longitudinal speed control with set speed defined by human driver.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Adapts speed based on distance to & speed of preceding vehicle, e.g.
measured using on-board sensors such as RADAR or Camera.
Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC): ACC extension supported by communication with
surrounding traffic & infrastructure, possibly also other off-board data sources e.g. cyclists, pedestrians.

▪ Hybrid* Model Predictive Control (MPC) dynamically incorporates descriptions of upcoming traffic & road conditions as constraints in receding horizon.
▪ Non-linear constraints like energy consumption, gear shifts, full load, & road attributes (e.g. gradient, curvature, speed limits) modelled.
▪ eHorizon & V2X used for better predictions of preceding traffic & infrastructure, including traffic lights, variable speed limits, delivery & bus stops.

Energy-Efficient CACCSummary
▪ Increasing interest in V2X communications to intelligently connect conventional & electrified vehicles.
▪ V2X supported ADAS such as simple Traffic Light Assistants, now starting to be introduced in market.
▪ Efficiency, safety & convenience all benefit from optimized vehicle speed profiles.
▪ AVL’s Energy-Efficient Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (EECACC) reduces energy consumption by
up to 30%* in simulated city scenario, 25% on testbed.
▪ EECACC considers static layout, sizing & efficiency of powertrain, as well as dynamic state (e.g. SoC,
temperature) of powertrain, road topology, traffic, & traffic light signal phasing & timing (SPAT) data.
▪ Benefits of EECACC extended to other functions e.g. predictive hybrid powertrain mode selection.
* Like most predictive functions, the benefits depend on specific use case, baseline taken, etc.
