Abstract

Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is actively studied as the sensor and communication technology in the vehicle develops. The Intelligent Transportation System collects, processes, and provides information on the location, speed, and acceleration of the vehicles in the intersection. This paper proposes a fuel optimal route decision algorithm. The algorithm estimates traffic condition using information of vehicles acquired from several ITS intersections and determines the route that minimizes fuel consumption by reflecting the estimated traffic condition. Simplified fuel consumption models and road information (speed limit, average speed, etc.) are used to estimate the amount of fuel consumed when passing through the road. Dynamic Programming (DP) is used to determine the route that fuel consumption can be minimized. This algorithm has been verified in an intersection traffic model that reflects the actual traffic environment (Korea Daegu Technopolis) and the corresponding traffic model is modeled using AIMSUN.
