Platooning

A platoon is a number of vehicles that are travelling together at

short distances and are electronically connected!

• Vehicle-to-vehicle communication pulls vehicles together in platoons(a.k.a road trains)

• No communication no platooning (or Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control, CACC)

• V2X communication is regarded as a sensor with different characteristics compared to radar, lidar or camera

• First vehicle is driven manually or automatically

− Following vehicles are controlled both laterally and longitudinally based on sensor information


V2V is the enabler for platooning

• Vehicles tag along to each other while driving after each other

− Longitudinal control using frontlooking radar and V2X

• Better utilization of existing road infrastructure (less road trafficcongestion)

− ACC requires a time headway of at least 2.8 sec to be stable

− Cooperative ACC using C-ITS can reduce this to at least 0.9 sec


Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC)

A string of vehicles is said to be stable if any disturbances

introduced into the string is absorbed!

Fuel consumption

VDA = German Association of the Automotive Industry

The source to stops can be, e.g., red lights and shock waves in dense traffic scenarios, affecting the overall road traffic efficiency.

New safety approach needed

• Six truck OEMs drove to Rotterdam showcasing platooning in April 2016

− Invited by the Dutch EU presidency focusing on Smart Mobility

European Truck Platooning Challenge

Katrin Sjöberg

• ETPC 2.0 is a follow-up

− Bringing all stakeholders together for effective and appropriate implementation of truck platooning in Europe

− Contributing to defining the necessary technical, regulatory and organisational framework

− Foster cooperation enabling commercially viable truck platooning services creating jobs and growth

• 2017-2019

• Enable multibrand truck platooning

• Two main objectives

− Demonstrate feasibility of CACC on public roads, with trucks from Scania and Volvo at the haulage company DB Schenker.

− Demonstrate platooning with longitudinally and laterally controlled trucks with vehicles from Volvo and Scania at test site.

ACEA Roadmap Platooning [4]

• New facilities layer protocol for platooning

− Common message set and protocol operation

• Address safety using ISO 26262 as the basis

• TR 103 298 ”Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS); Platooning; Pre-standardization study”

• TR 103 299 ”Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS); Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC); Pre-standardization study”

• SAE DSRC Tech Cmte has recently established ”Cooperative Vehicle Task Force” treating both CACC and platooning

− SAE J2945/6 – message sets for platooning and CACC

• ISO TC204 WG14 ”Vehicle/Roadway and Control Systems”

− PWI 20035 Intelligent Transport Systems – Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) – Performance Requirements and Test Procedures


Standardization


Increased Collaboration• Communication protocols

• Platooning scenarios

• Harmonized regulation

• Standardisation

• ...

Generates benefits• Fuel Savings

• Increased Safety

• Increased Productivity

• Lower driver workload

• Improved traffic flow

• ...

Single brand: ETPC 2016

Single fleet: Sweden4Platooning

Multi-brand: ENSEMBLE

• Platooning is enabled by V2V communication (ITS-G5 is used)

− No communication, no platooning

• Multibrand platooning is addressed by research projects

• New facilities layer necessary to achieve secure and efficient exchangeof signals

• Safety is of uttermost importance!

• Standardization is necessary to achieve interoperability

• Much activities on truck platooning in Europe
