About the TalkToday, most gains in powertrain fuel economy come from optimizing energy consumption within the powertrain itself. However, these approaches have nearly reached their maximum potential. With the emergence of autonomous driving technologies, a new opportunity arises to further enhance powertrain efficiency by extending optimization beyond the vehicle’s hardware. By co‑optimizing speed and energy, transportation systems can become significantly smarter and more efficient. Identifying the optimal balance between travel speed and energy use allows vehicles to reduce fuel or electricity consumption with minimal impact on travel time. This synergy lowers operating costs, increases driving range, and reduces environmental footprint. Across applications—from public transit to freight logistics—joint speed‑energy optimization leads to smoother operations, improved reliability, and more sustainable movement of people and goods, all while preserving high performance where it matters <a href="http://most.About" target="_blank" title="most.About">most.About the SpeakerSOUSSO KELOUWANIProfessor, Department of Mechanical Engineering | Université du Québec à Trois-RivièresCanada Research Chair in Energy Optimization of Intelligent Transport SystemsSenior Member, IEEEDr. Kelouwani received the Ph.D. degree in robotics systems from École Polytechnique de Montréal in 2011.
