Cooperative eco-approach and departure (EAD) along signalized corridors

  • Principal Investigator Zhensong Wei
  • University of California, Riverside
The objectives of the research project are to: 1) Combine cooperativity and the EAD to reduce the negative effect of the increasing penetration rate and 2) conduct field tests in existing connected vehicle testbeds and extend the scope to corridors or networks and study the energy optimization approach for multiple intersections.
