This research proposes a control algorithm for automobiles to save fuel consumption based on traffic signal information. It is assumed that the traffic information can be obtained in advance. To obtain the optimal driving pattern finite horizon optimal control problem based on the traffic signal information is solved. Computer simulation is carried out to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method. In this simulation actual road data and signal data are used. It shows that the proposed method saves the fuel consumption more than 10% against driving like human drivers. A control method for signal is also considered to improve the fuel economy by using the optimal velocity of vehicle.
