Quantifying the Economic Case for Electric Semi-Trucks
There has been considerable interest in the electrification of freight transport, particularly heavy-duty trucks to downscale the greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions from the transportation sector. However, the economic competitiveness of electric semi-trucks

Abstract The application of automated ground vehicles (AGVs) is well‐established in closed environments such as port terminals, while their operation in open areas remains challenging. In this work, we set out to overcome this limitation by introducing platooning as a transfer mode in heterogeneous vehicle networks.

A Taxonomy of Optimization Factors for Platooning
The technical maturity of autonomous driving enables the discussion of beneficial use cases to leverage its full potential. In this paper, we target one such use case: Platooning is the efficient convoying of vehicles by making use of self-driving capabilities and inter-vehicle communication.

Scenario‐Based Platoon Lane Network Design
ABSTRACT A truck platoon is a set of trucks that drive behind one another at short headways to save fuel, reduce emissions, and improve traffic throughput. Despite the potential benefits of platooning, road operators have raised concerns about the impact of platoons on surrounding traffic.

The Destructive Loop: Dealing and Coping With Destructive Leadership
ABSTRACT Previous research on destructive leadership has mostly focused on the destructive behaviors and outcomes and less attention has been paid to how to cope with and handle this kind of stressor. The overall aim of this study is to gain a deepened understanding of how subordinates and superiors react to (cope with and manage) destructive ...

ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...
