Reducing the inter-vehicle separation in a platoon results in the most benefits in terms of aerodynamic savings and vehicles throughput. However, this makes braking maneuvers dangerous and leads to long stopping distances, in particular, when considering heterogeneous vehicles with different braking capacities. Even though control theoretic approaches exist for the platoon cruise operation, the scenario...
With the advent of autonomous driving, road trains or platoons are regaining importance as a meaningful way of improving traffic efficiency and economizing on fuel/energy. It has been shown that reducing inter-vehicle separations to less than one car length results in the most benefits for the whole platoon; however, this poses a number of challenges. In particular, it becomes difficult to guarantee...
This paper is concerned with the realization of semi-autonomous vehicle arrangements as the natural transition towards fully automated traffic. In particular, we are interested in road trains or platoons, which involve a group of vehicles at close following distances. This is known to reduce fuel -- or energy -- consumption due to reduced aerodynamic forces acting on them. Currently, available techniques...
