Impact of Eco-Driving on Energy Consumption of an Electric Vehicle

Energy consumption has continued to attract public attention, especially in vehicles for transportation. A variety of emerging technologies have been proposed and/or developed to address these issues. Due to the use of electric batteries, electric vehicles have been widely regarded as a very promising in reducing fuel consumption and traffic-related polluting emissions in recent years. Eco-driving is now considered to be a major way of reducing the energy consumption linked to transportation based on the idea that there are different ways of driving a specific journey that are not equivalent from an energy point of view. Eventually, the main goal of this work is to find the optimal one. Current research has shown that additional energy savings can be achieved through the application of an eco-driving system in electromobility using friction models and energy consumption patterns. Results indicate an approximate improvement in energy savings over traditional eco-driving strategies, particularly on trajectories with high traffic density.
