This paper proposes a novel vehicle convoy control driving with efficient driving manoeuvers such as coasting and regeneration to reduce CO2 emissions. This control assumes a near-future traffic situation where there are automated and driving vehicles. A control method that drastically reduces CO2 emissions for each group of vehicles including following manual driving vehicles is established by simplifying the problem by going back to the principles to realize a control with a low calculation time in anticipation of utilization in actual vehicles. This simplification makes it possible to properly control the entire vehicle convoy by referring to control maps that are derived through traffic flow simulation. Energy consumption reduction by the proposed control strategy has been verified with simulation, showing a 6.4% reduction for battery electric vehicles under the condition that the controlled vehicle with its following vehicles passes through an intersection.
