Organization:	Federal Highway Administration - Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC)
Office:	Office of Operations Research and Development
Team:	N/A
Roadmap/Focus area(s):	Air Quality and Climate Change
Project Description:	The project will examine the potential of ecoadaptive cruise control (eco-ACC) applications to improve environmental performance. A traffic simulation tool will be modified to model eco‐ACC strategies, and research will be conducted to develop an effective algorithm for this application.
