An automatic platooning technology for energy-saving logistics utilizing intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies have been developed in the Energy-Saving ITS Project of Japan. The automatic platooning of trucks is studied to save energy consumption by reducing air resistance. Considering the experimental testing and practical application for automatic platooning, it is important to ensure...
Automatic platooning control of heavy-duty trucks requires accurate vehicle parameters because control performance is significantly affected by the load. We propose new identification methods for the identification of parameters such as vehicle mass and center of gravity using experiments with a real vehicle. The validity of these methods was confirmed with high accuracy comparisons between measured...
Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) issued a report titled "Next-Generation Vehicle and Fuel Initiative." In the report, METI laid out the idea of Japan pursuing efforts to become the world's most environmentally friendly motorized society as one measure of the initiative, and proposed building a low-carbon emission economy based on intelligent transport systems (ITS)...
Previously ITS system or ITS technology was aiming some of new brake through technologies. It is quite important for beginning of ITS. Currently ITS engineers need to consider more mass production aspect, such as less energy consumption, cost efficiency, system's redundancy and so on. However those are kind of difficult to be succeed at the same time. Especially, brake system is not simple to achieve...
