This book elaborates the science and engineering basis for
energy-efficient driving in conventional and autonomous cars. After
covering the physics of energy-efficient motion in conventional,
hybrid, and electric powertrains, the book chiefly focuses on the
energy-saving potential of connected and automated vehicles. It
reveals how being connected to other vehicles and the
infrastructure enables the anticipation of upcoming
driving-relevant factors, e.g. hills, curves, slow traffic, state
of traffic signals, and movements of nearby vehicles. In turn,
automation allows vehicles to adjust their motion more precisely in
anticipation of upcoming events, and to save energy. Lastly, the
energy-efficient motion of connected and automated vehicles could
have a harmonizing effect on mixed traffic, leading to additional
energy savings for neighboring vehicles. Building on classical
methods of powertrain modeling, optimization, and optimal control,
the book further develops the theory of energy-efficient driving.
In addition, it presents numerous theoretical and applied case
studies that highlight the real-world implications of the theory
developed. The book is chiefly intended for undergraduate and
graduate engineering students and industry practitioners with a
background in mechanical, electrical, or automotive engineering,
computer science or robotics.
