A Review and Outlook on Predictive Cruise Control of Vehicles and Typical Applications Under Cloud Control System - Machine Intelligence Research

With the application of mobile communication technology in the automotive industry, intelligent connected vehicles equipped with communication and sensing devices have been rapidly promoted. The road and traffic information perceived by intelligent vehicles has important potential application value, especially for improving the energy-saving and safe-driving of vehicles as well as the efficient operation of traffic. Therefore, a type of vehicle control technology called predictive cruise control (PCC) has become a hot research topic. It fully taps the perceived or predicted environmental information to carry out predictive cruise control of vehicles and improves the comprehensive performance of the vehicle-road system. Most existing reviews focus on the economical driving of vehicles, but few scholars have conducted a comprehensive survey of PCC from theory to the status quo.
