Optimised consensus for highway speed limits via intelligent speed advisory systems

In this paper, an application based on the Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) system is proposed to reduce CO₂ emissions of vehicles running on the highway. We apply the idea of optimised consensus to solve the emission optimisation problem in a simplified highway scenario through simulation study. Our approach shows that total CO₂ emissions of vehicles can be minimised if all vehicles follow the reference speed signal derived from the ISA.
