In this paper, a multi-level, comprehensive control technique for a heavy duty vehicle, capable of reducing fuel consumption while complying with engine constraints on both operating conditions and smoke emissions has been developed. The higher control layer, using road data, engine and vehicle parameters, computes the optimal speed and gear shifting profiles through an off-line, dual step dynamic programming algorithm. Since fuel consumption alone could be potentially decreased by driving at lower speeds and thus increasing travel time, this last aspect is also taken into account in the presented algorithm. The lower control layer, operating in real time, computes suitable powertrain control signals assuring the tracking of both reference ...
