Electric Drive Vehicles Could Benefit from CAVs Technologies from Connectivity and Automation Route Based Control would allow lower fuel consumption by optimizing electric consumption throughout a trip. Opportunity for optimal powertrain design and speed control Knowing location of charging stations, their status as well as the vehicles battery SOC would provide helpful information to drivers (i.e., when should they charge, where is the closest charging point ) Drivers could reserve charging stations in advance (I.e., shopping, restaurants ) or know when one becomes available as soon as a car is charged (i.e., work) 4
But Connectivity & Automation Could Also Lower the Energy Savings Potential of xevs A lot of the CAVs technologies focus on improving traffic flow, leading to lower accelerations & decelerations (i.e. EcoSignal). This will improve the efficiency of conventional vehicles much more than that of xevs that benefit from regenerative braking Since xevs benefit from deceleration events to recharge the battery, what will be the impact of having smoother a smaller number of deceleration events or even none of them? 5

Integrated Transportation Model ( ) POLARIS is an agent-based transportation system model Decision making is decentralized. Each traveler has its own goals and behaviors. All aspects of activity and travel are represented in a single model Travelers are autonomous and can adopt to current conditions (congestion, mode availability, information available) Not restricted to a limited number of market segments (user groups) The agent based framework is flexible and can accommodate other types of agents (buildings, authorities, smart infrastructure) NETWORK MODEL Physical laws that govern dynamics of traffic flow Newell s model Managed Lanes Controlled intersections (traffic signals) Traveler information systems Traffic management Multimodal travel (Integrated corridor management) 27

Evaluating the Energy Impact of an Automation Scenario 3 Scenarios: UM: Unmanaged ML: Managed lane for heavy-duty trucks ML+ACC: Managed lane for trucks, and all trucks have adaptive cruise control (ACC) 18 km Stretch of Highway in Chicago 25 on- and off- ramps Powertrain Technologies Each vehicle class has a conventional ICE version (CV) and a hybrid (HEV) version Each vehicle template has a unique combination of components and average mass 3
Evaluating the Energy Impact of an Automation Scenario Class 8 hybridization ( mild with ISG) saves approx. 15% in the unmanaged case; for class 6 ( full HEV ), savings are approx. 2%. With managed lanes, the savings are lower, and nonexistent when ACC is used (No regen braking) Average Truck Fuel Consumption With managed lanes, the savings are lower, and nonexistent when ACC is used. This is because braking, and its recuperation, is virtually eliminated. Overall fuel savings for trucks: - managed lanes (ML): 25% - managed lanes + ACC: 4% Fuel Consumption Distribution (all trucks, FS1) 31
Conclusion A lot of good work has been performed, but since the focus has been for conventional vehicles at the individual level, additional in-depth analysis needs to be performed to assess the impact on energy. At the vehicle level using CAV-like RWDC, we showed that, Connectivity decreases fuel consumption especially at low speed 35 to 5 % connectivity potential fuel savings at low speed BEVs have biggest potential at low speed Connectivity doesn t modify the hybridization potential System level analysis has to be performed including uncertainty using new set of tools. The potential increase in travel demand could reverse the recent significant gains. Advanced vehicle technologies such as electrified vehicles could minimize the impact of the demand effect through fuel energy diversification. CAVs could lead to an increase in advanced vehicles market penetration 32
