Simulation of Optimal Driving for Minimization of Fuel Consumption or NOx Emissions in a Diesel Vehicle

Significant reduction in fuel consumption and NOx emissions can be achieved just by changing the driving along road. In this paper, dynamic programming is employed to find two different profiles optimized for creation minimization a diesel vehicle. Results, show that cycle leads savings of 4% compared with average arbitrary driving. The profile improves 34.5%. oriented fuel-oriented 38% at expense penalty 10%. This result points out difficulty simultaneous reduction, stressing efforts done field during following years. Strategies followed conclusions drawn from paper are relevant concerning vehicle autonomy integration.
