Abstract
We present a flexible eco-cruising strategy for connected and automated vehicles that jointly optimizes lane planning and speed trajectory. The hierarchical framework decouples discrete lane decisions from continuous speed optimization and leverages V2X information for anticipatory control, delivering significant energy savings on multi-lane highways under realistic traffic conditions.
