This paper explores the fuel savings that can be achieved by optimizing the speed trajectory of a heavy-duty truck traversing a sequence of intersections, under the assumptions that the behavior of the leading traffic and the timing of the traffic lights is known. Specifically, we look at the impact of corridor topology (i.e. green cycle lengths, phase offsets) on the expected fuel savings of the optimized trajectories. This is an important area of research because vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) technology has the potential to allow autonomous vehicles to reduce fuel consumption, especially in urban and sub-urban driving scenarios. The literature tackles the problem of arterial corridor trajectory optimization, and shows the potential fuel saving benefits. However, previous research focuses primarily on passenger vehicles, and often limits its findings to specific case studies. The main contribution of this paper is to offer an estimate of the fuel saving potential - for heavy-duty trucks and under different corridor characteristics - of optimizing trajectories in an urban arterial with V2V and V21 capabilities.
