Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 31, Page 6552-6576, 29 December 2025.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.

Truck Platooning on Flexible Pavements in Illinois
, 2021 Truck platoons have many benefits over traditional truck mobility. Truck platoons have the potential to improve safety and reduce fuel consumption between 5% and 15%, based on platoon configuration. In Illinois, trucks carry more than 50% of freight tonnage and constitute 25% of the traffic on interstates.

Automated Truck Platoon Control [PDF]
, 2011 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 ...
