The cars organize themselves into platoons of 8 to 25 cars. The cars within a platoon drive themselves a meter apart, so that air resistance is minimized. The distance between platoons is the conventional braking distance. If anything goes wrong, the maximum number of harmed cars should be one platoon.
Jan 1, 2012 · This paper presents an overview of current projects that deal with vehicle platooning. The platooning concept can be defined as a collection of vehicles that travel together, actively...
Jun 1, 2020 · This paper presents a systematic literature review of platooning systems with a special focus on the strategies which have been adopted to validate platooning algorithms.
Platooning is an application where a group of vehicles move one after each other in close proximity, acting jointly as a single physical system. The scope of platooning is to improve safety, reduce fuel consumption, and increase road use efficiency.
Sep 1, 2023 · A vehicle platooning system uses communication technology to organize multiple vehicles to drive in a queue in order to improve traffic efficiency [1]. As depicted in Fig. 1, vehicles in a platoon are permitted to travel in formation and maintain a very close distance between each other, while the rear vehicles are capable of ...
Mar 7, 2018 · Platooning with increasingly autonomous vehicles and systems will be a cornerstone of tomorrow’s sustainable transport system. Step-by-step developments are already under way. With the development of advanced assisting systems and connectivity, platooning or convoy driving has gained new momentum.
Jan 1, 2021 · In this context, today, there are many scientific publications on vehicle platooning with different purposes, scopes, scenarios, and based on a wide diversity of vehicles and technologies (i.e. regular or segregated lanes, cars or trucks, vehicles with different SAE levels, etc.).
There are several initiatives, research activities and studies on truck platooning across the globe, driven by the European Union, various governments and the industry. Truck platooning is the linking of two or more trucks in convoys, using automated driving support systems.
Apr 2, 2020 · In this study, we attempt to answer the critical question of whether platooning is an adoptable practice in the near future and discuss an agenda to take platooning closer to implementation on the ground by highlighting the opportunities for future research.
Platooning: The future of freeways is lining up. Linking cars into a trainlike group can save fuel, fit more cars on the road, and potentially improve safety. A project in Europe shows it's not...
