Eco-driving strategy for connected electric buses at the signalized intersection with a station

High energy consumption and low traffic efficiency are often caused by acceleration, deceleration, and secondary parking that do not consider traffic conditions in advance after exiting a station. To overcome this problem, this study establishes an eco-driving control strategy for the signalized intersection with a station. First, a control strategy before entering the station is established. Second, based on V2X, the decision-making model for the non-stop passing of the signalized intersection is established. Afterward, based on NSGA-II, an acceleration/deceleration strategy is established to obtain the eco-velocity curve. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed strategy is verified based on natural driving data and other eco-driving strategies at intersections. The results show that the proposed eco-driving strategy not only saves 21.11 % of energy and 16.1 s of time compared to natural driving, but also saves an average of 5.83 % of energy compared to other eco-driving strategies at intersections.
