**3. Case Study**

The case study simulated the proposed BEV Eco-CACC-I algorithm to investigate the impact of signal timing, speed limit, and road grade on the optimal solution.

In addition, two electric vehicles (a 2015 Nissan Leaf and a 2015 Tesla Model S) were considered in the simulation test to see if a particular vehicle model with different weight and engine powers affected the optimal solution. To compare BEV and ICEV optimal solutions, two ICEVs (a 2015 Honda Fit and a 2015 Cadillac SRX) were used for the same simulation test.
