Project ID:FHWA-PROJ-10-0047
Project Name: Applications for the Environment Real-Time Synthesis Broad Agency Announcement Project: Evaluating Intelligent Eco-Drive Applications
Status: Active
Contact:Last Name:   Ferlis
First Name:   Robert A (Bob)
Telephone:  202-493-3268
E-mail:         robert.ferlis@dot.gov
Organization:Federal Highway Administration - Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC)
Office: Office of Operations Research and Development
Team: N/A
Roadmap/Focus area(s): Air Quality and Climate Change
Project Findings: Data not yet available
Project Description: The project will examine the potential of eco-adaptive cruise control (eco-ACC) applications to improve environmental performance.  A  traffic simulation tool will be modified to model eco‐ACC strategies, and research will be conducted to develop an effective algorithm for this application.
Laboratories: Transportation Operations Laboratory
Start Date: September 23, 2010
End Date: January 30, 2012
Funding Amount:$40,000.00
FHWA Program Name: Other
Goals:
  1. An Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) application of eco-adaptive cruise control using connected vehicle technologies can significantly improve environmental performance.
