Samenvatting
This paper presents a novel concept and development of an Ecological Driving Assist System (EDAS) that may play an important role in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in coming decades. The proposed system is planned to perceive instant vehicles-road-traffic information from intelligent transportation systems (ITS) through its advancement with new sensing and communication technologies. It generates the optimal control input necessary for ecological driving by anticipating situations of the vehicles-road-traffic for a certain time horizon ahead, and assists a driver through a suitable human interface. Performance of the developed system is evaluated by simulations in AIMSUN NG microscopic transport simulator.
