In this paper, the problem of eco-driving for a conventional vehicle equipped with an internal combustion engine is studied. The associated optimal control problem is formulated and solved using Dynamic Programming (DP). The impact of the mesh choice on the optimality of the DP solution is investigated in order to find a trade-off between the optimality of the DP solution and its computation time. The eco-driving speed trajectories obtained were tested on a high-frequency HIL (Hardware-In-the-Loop) engine test bench to quantify the real reductions in fuel consumption. Simulations and experiments are compared.
