I. Introduction
Global greenhouse gas emission and fuel consumption rates have significantly increased over the last decade, indicating early signs of a major climate crisis in the near future. While many sectors actively contribute to greenhouse gas emission (GHG), transportation sector in the US contributes 29% of which 77% is due to land transportation [1]. With clear indications that frequent vehicle stops created by stop-and-go waves [2], [3], slow speeds on congested roads, over speeds [3], [4], and idling can significantly increase fuel consumption and emission levels, carefully designed driving strategies are becoming imperative. The urge to reduce fuel consumption and related emission levels in driving has thus created a line of work on studying eco-driving strategies.
