Connected and Automated Hybrid Electric Vehicles have the potential to reduce fuel consumption and travel time in real-world driving conditions. The eco-driving problem seeks to design optimal speed and power usage profiles based upon look-ahead information from connectivity and advanced mapping features. Recently, Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has been applied to the eco-driving problem. While the previous studies synthesize simulators and model-free DRL to reduce online computation, this work proposes a Safe Off-policy Model-Based Reinforcement Learning algorithm for the eco-driving problem. The advantages over the existing literature are three-fold. First, the combination of off-policy learning and the use of a physics-based model improves the sample efficiency. Second, the training does not require any extrinsic rewarding mechanism for constraint satisfaction. Third, the feasibility of trajectory is guaranteed by using a safe set approximated by deep generative models. The performance of the proposed method is benchmarked against a baseline controller representing human drivers, a previously designed model-free DRL strategy, and the wait-and-see optimal solution. In simulation, the proposed algorithm leads to a policy with a higher average speed and a better fuel economy compared to the model-free agent. Compared to the baseline controller, the learned strategy reduces the fuel consumption by more than 21% while keeping the average speed comparable.
Active Traffic Management strategies are often adopted in real-time to address such sudden flow breakdowns. When queuing is imminent, Speed Harmonization (SH), which adjusts speeds in upstream traffic to mitigate traffic showckwaves downstream, can b
Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs), particularly those with a hybrid electric powertrain, have the potential to significantly improve vehicle energy savings in real-world driving conditions. In particular, the Eco-Driving problem seeks to design
Although deep reinforcement learning (deep RL) methods have lots of strengths that are favorable if applied to autonomous driving, real deep RL applications in autonomous driving have been slowed down by the modeling gap between the source (training)
We propose a fully distributed control system architecture, amenable to in-vehicle implementation, that aims to safely coordinate connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) in road intersections. For control purposes, we build upon a fully distributed m
Connected and automated vehicles have shown great potential in improving traffic mobility and reducing emissions, especially at unsignalized intersections. Previous research has shown that vehicle passing order is the key influencing factor in improv
