Validation of Truck Platoon Slipstream Effects
AbstractDue to slipstream effects, platooning leads to a significant decrease of the fuel consumption of the heavy-duty vehicles (HDV). Measurements with a platoon consisting of three vehicles were performed at the Zalazone proving ground. The goal of these measurements was to get the static pressure at the front and the rear of the second vehicle to ...

Regenerative Braking Energy Recovery From a Platoon Powered by a DC Electric Road System
Electric road systems (ERSs) are anticipated to be major energy consumers. The energy efficiency of an ERS can be significantly improved by implementing the practice of driving electric vehicles (EVs) in closely spaced platoons. This driving configuration effectively reduces the drag coefficient of all vehicles within the platoon, resulting in a ...
