Popis: Ecological Cooperative and Adaptive Cruise Control (Eco-CACC) is widely focused to enhance sustainability of CACC. However, state-of-the-art Eco-CACC studies are still facing challenges in adopting on rolling terrain. Furthermore, they cannot ensure both ecology optimality and computational efficiency. Hence, this paper proposes a nonlinear optimal control based Eco-CACC controller. It has the following features: i) enhancing performance across rolling terrains by modeling in space domain; ii) enhancing fuel efficiency via globally optimizing all vehicle's fuel consumptions; iii) ensuring computational efficiency by developing a differential dynamic programming-based solving method for the non-linear optimal control problem; iv) ensuring string stability through theoretically proving and experimentally validating. The performance of the proposed Eco-CACC controller was evaluated. Results showed that the proposed Eco-CACC controller can improve average fuel saving by 37.67% at collector road and about 17.30% at major arterial.
