Connected Cohort Optimization Project Explanation
AVL recently partnered with Michigan Technological University, American Center for Mobility, BorgWarner, Navistar Inc and Traffic Technology Services Inc. for a Connected Cohort Optimization project funded by Department of Energy, EEMS: Energy Efficient Mobility Systems, VTO: Vehicle Technologies Office.
The AVL engineering team collaborated to develop a system for optimizing energy consumption in connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). Leveraging their expertise in system simulation, optimization, and coordination, they created a multi-agent optimization technique that can produce vehicle trajectory profiles in real-time. This approach has the potential to significantly reduce energy consumption and improve the sustainability of transportation systems at various scales.
Here is an explanation of our project with Darrell Robinette from Michigan Technological University.
