Abstract

Eco-routing

multi-objective optimization

safe driving

safety measures

Following the most energy efficient route can have a significant impact on reducing energy consumption. While most eco routing research has focused on reducing energy consumption and travel time, the safety aspect of route choice is currently neglected. In this paper, a multi objective optimization methodology is formulated to concurrently minimize fuel consumption, travel time and safety risk, which is quantified using a novel methodology based on network level safety measures. The proposed optimization framework provides a transparent way to intuitively include driver preferences via "budgets" for time, fuel consumption and safety which represent the driver's willingness to sacrifice these factors for fuel consumption improvements. The performance of the proposed method was tested on urban road networks in Brisbane Australia, with a rear end collision risk model as the safety measure. The results demonstrate that eco routing with safety considerations has the potential to improve fuel efficiency while simultaneously reducing safety risks.
