Abstract

We introduce a novel variant of the problem of computing energy-efficient and quick routes in a road network. In contrast to previous route planning approaches we do not only make use of variation of the routes to save energy but also allow variation of driving speed along the route to achieve energy savings. Our approach is based on a simple yet fundamental insight about the optimal velocities along a fixed route and a reduction to the constrained shortest path problem.
