Towards Truck Platooning Deployment Requirements
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 ...

Dynamic Control of Variable Lanes on Port Collector‐Distributor Expressway
The port collector‐distributor expressways are important channels connecting large ports and inland hinterlands. The traffic volume and composition on port collector‐distributor expressways are significantly influenced by the arrival and departure of cargo ships, resulting in significant variations between periods with and without freight tasks.

Drayage Routing Problems: A Comprehensive Survey and a New Compact Model
ABSTRACT Drayage involves short‐distance container trucking, a crucial part of intermodal transportation that fills the gap between long‐haul transportation modes and inland facilities. Because of its high costs, drayage has been increasingly drawing the attention of researchers and practitioners from different disciplines, who have been exploring ...

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 ...

Abstract Routing an emergency response vehicle (ERV) is essential to sustain the society and save people in high risk. ERV must have top priority on highways to pass through without interference with other non‐ERVs. Congested road traffic conditions, however, might not allow for such a priority.

Automated Truck Platoon Control [PDF]
This report shows a successful application of 5.9 GHz DSRC with 100 ms update intervals to coordinate the automatic longitudinal control of a platoon of three Class 8 tractor-trailer trucks. The trucks were tested not only in constant-speed cruising conditions, but also through acceleration and deceleration profiles, up and down grades, and in platoon ...
