Impact of Automated Truck Platooning on the Performance of Freeway Mixed Traffic Flow
Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2021 Vehicle platooning service through wireless communication and automated driving technology has become a reality. Vehicle platooning means that several vehicles travel like a train on the road with a minimum safety distance, which leads to the enhancement

Truck Platoon Slipstream Effects Assessment
, 2022 AbstractWith the increase of stringent emission standards and higher road transportation cycles in the last few decades, the importance of transport and fuel efficiency plays a major role. The aerodynamic forces on trucks have a huge impact of the overall fuel consumption rate. For a 40 tonnes semi-trailer truck at 85 km/h on a flat highway, around 40%

Cooperative look-ahead control for fuel-efficient and safe heavy-duty vehicle platooning [PDF]
, 2015 The operation of groups of heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) at a small inter-vehicular distance (known as platoon) allows to lower the overall aerodynamic drag and, therefore, to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

Platoon Optimization Based on Truck Pairs
INFORMS Journal on Computing, 2023 Truck platooning technology allows trucks to drive at short headways to save fuel and associated emissions. However, fuel savings from platooning are relatively small, so forming platoons should be convenient and associated with minimum detours and delays. In this paper, we focus on developing optimization technology to form truck platoons.

Towards Truck Platooning Deployment Requirements
, 2022 AbstractTruck platooning represents a promising means to enhance efficiency of freight transport. Developments of truck platooning date back to the early 1990s, starting with projects to illustrate the technical feasibility followed by projects investigating the potential of fuel savings up to feasible business models and multi-brand and multi-fleet ...

Fuel Economy in Truck Platooning: A Literature Overview and Directions for Future Research
Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2020 A truck platoon is a set of virtually linked trucks that travel in tandem with small intervehicle distances. Several studies have proved that traveling in platoons can significantly improve fuel economy due to the reduced aerodynamic drag.

Long-term U.S transportation electricity use considering the effect of autonomous-vehicles: Estimates & policy observations [PDF]
, 2018 In this paper, we model three layers of transportation disruption – first electrification, then autonomy, and finally sharing and pooling – in order to project transportation electricity demand and greenhouse gas emissions in the United States to 2050 ...
