Novel pre-emptive control solutions for V2X connected electric vehicles

V2X technologies will become widespread in the next generation of passenger cars, and enable the development of novel vehicle control functionalities. Although a wide literature describes the energy efficiency benefits of V2X connectivity, e.g., in terms of vehicle speed profiling and platooning, there is a gap in the analysis of the potential of vehicle connectivity in enhancing the performance of active safety control systems. To highlight the impact vehicle connectivity could have on future active safety systems, this paper presents two novel control functions for connected vehicles, benefitting from the precise knowledge of the expected path and tire-road friction conditions ahead, as well as the current position of the ego vehicle. These functions, developed within recent and ongoing European projects, are: i) pre-emptive traction control; and ii) pre-emptive braking control.
