Traffic signals are used at intersections to manage the flow of vehicles by allocating right-of-way in a timely manner for different users of the intersection. Traffic signals are therefore installed at an intersection to improve overall safety and to decrease vehicular average delay. However, the variation of driving speed in response to these signals causes an increase in fuel consumption and air emission levels. One solution to this problem is Eco-Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (Eco-CACC), which attempts to reduce vehicle fuel consumption and emission levels by optimizing driver behavior in the vicinity of a signalized intersection. Various Eco-CACC algorithms have been proposed by researchers to address this issue. With the help of vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, algorithms are being developed that utilize signal phasing and timing (SPaT) data together with queue information to optimize vehicle trajectories in the vicinity of signalized intersections. The research presented in this thesis constitutes the third phase of a project that entailed developing and evaluating an Eco-CACC system. Its main objective is to evaluate the benefits of the newly developed Eco-CACC algorithm that was proposed by the Center for Sustainable Mobility at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute. This algorithm uses advanced signal information (SPaT) to compute the fuel-optimal trajectory of vehicles, and, then, send recommended speeds to drivers as an audio message or implement them directly into the subject vehicle. The objective of this study is to quantitatively quantify the fuel-efficiency of the Eco-CACC system in a real field environment. In addition, another goal of this study is to address the implementation issues and challenges with the field application of the Eco-CACC system. A dataset of 2112 trips were collected as part of this research effort using a 2014 Cadillac SRX equipped with a vehicle onboard unit for (V2V) and (V2I) communication. A total of 32 participants between the ages of 18 and 30 were randomly selected from one age group (18-30) with an equal number of males and females. The controlled experiment was conducted on the Virginia Smart Road facility during daylight hours for dry pavement conditions. The controlled field experiment included four different scenarios: normal driving, driving with red indication countdown information provided to drivers, driving with recommended speed information computed by the Eco-CACC system and delivered to drivers, and finally automated driving (automated Eco-CACC system). The controlled field experiment was conducted for four values of red indication offsets along an uphill and downhill approach. The collected data were compared with regard to fuel economy and travel time over a fixed distance upstream and downstream of the intersection (820 ft (250 m) upstream of the intersection to 590 ft (180 m) downstream for a total length of 1410 ft (430 m)). The results demonstrate that the Eco-CACC system is very efficient in reducing fuel consumption levels especially when driving downhill. The field data indicates that the automated scenario could produce fuel and travel time savings of 31% and 9% on average, respectively. In addition, the study demonstrates that driving with a red indication countdown and recommended speed information can produce fuel savings ranging from 4 to 21 percent with decreases in travel times ranging between 1 and 10 percent depending on the value of red indication offset and the direction. Split-split-plot design was used to analyze the data and test significant differences between the four scenarios with regards to fuel consumption and travel time. The analysis shows that the differences between normal driving and driving with either the manual or automated Eco-CACC systems are statistically significant for all the red indication offset values. / Master of Science
