Abstract
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may comprise instructions stored thereon for controlling operation of a vehicle travelling from a starting location to a target location. When executed by at least one processor, the instructions may be configured to cause a computing system to generate a travel itinerary for the vehicle to travel over different road segments at respective speeds between the starting location and the target location subject to an arrival time deadline for arriving at the target location, the different road segments being selected on a map to minimize a total fuel consumption of the vehicle in travelling from the starting location to the target location, and send the travel itinerary to a vehicle operator to operate the vehicle to travel over different road segments at respective speeds between the starting location and the target location.
