ABSTRACT
In modern society, vehicles have become an indispensable means of transportation to ensure people's travel and the circulation of social production materials and living materials. However, while bringing us convenience in life, with the increasing number of vehicles, the corresponding energy consumption and exhaust emission problems have also caused a lot of social wealth loss. Therefore, how to effectively improve the energy efficiency of vehicles to achieve the goal of energy-saving and emission reduction is one of the focuses of current academic and industrial circles. Different from the industrial sector, which mainly achieves energy saving and emission reduction by improving the mechanical performance of vehicles [such as increasing the thermal efficiency of internal combustion engines (ICEs)] or introducing new energy vehicles (such as electric vehicles), we have more choices in the academic world. Among them, through effective traffic signal control, the energy consumption of the vehicle can be improved by achieving a uniform speed of the vehicle as much as possible. We believe that the advantage of this method is that it can improve the energy efficiency of the vehicle within the system without updating the vehicle. In this article, we will prove this assertion and compare some state-of-the-art approaches through the form of an empirical study.
