Abstract
With the development of intelligent transportation system (ITS), vehicle-to-everything (V2X) information offers great opportunities to promote the energy efficiency of vehicles. This paper systematically elaborates the state of art which focuses on improving the energy efficiency using the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-network (V2N) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. Firstly, V2V technology applied in energy management of single and vehicular platoon is investigated. Secondly, eco-driving for connected vehicles using V2I information is studied. Thirdly, the potential of enhancing the energy efficiency by the V2N communication between vehicles and network is analyzed as well. Fourthly, the utilisation of V2G technology to increase the energy efficiency of smart grid is presented. Finally, the challenges are suggested to facilitate the application of V2X technology to the enhancement of energy efficiency.
