The optimization of speed holds critical significance for pure electric vehicles. Within the context of multi-intersection scenarios, the determination of terminal velocity assumes a pivotal role in addressing the intricacies of the speed optimization problem. However, prevailing methodologies documented in the literature predominantly adhere to a fixed speed constraint derived from traffic light regulations, serving as the primary basis for the terminal velocity constraint. Nevertheless, this strategy can result in unnecessary acceleration and deceleration maneuvers, consequently leading to an undesirable escalation in energy consumption. To mitigate these issues and attain an optimal terminal velocity, this research paper proposes an innovative speed optimization method that incorporates a terminal-velocity heuristic. To implement the proposed speed optimization method, this paper presents the following strategy framework.
