The Peloton Solution
Individual Truck Safety Radar + Automatic braking
Close Formation Platooning Well beyond cruise control Fuel Savings from aerodynamics Enhanced driver awareness -- video link
Platooning Network Operations Center Coordination of linking opportunities Trucks can only link when it is safe
Safe road Safe traffic conditions Safe weather Safe driver

Enhancing Driver Performance Human drivers in command of both vehicles at all times
Human drivers steer both trucks at all times
System adjusts speed and applies braking to assist the drivers Similar to adaptive cruise control
Level 1 Automation (by NHTSA defined levels of automation)
Vehicles back away and drivers resume full control: When a driver chooses to end the linking During system faults When other vehicles interfere

Safety Package Forward Collision Avoidance
Radar-based avoidance: overcomes driver fatigue, weather Weather and location based geofencing of operation
Driver real-time notification of hazards Traffic conditions/accidents, Weather and Road conditions
Ultra-fast reaction by trailing truck: Far better than an alert driver
Smart ordering of trucks: Requires front positioning for heavier truck with longest stopping distance
Driver monitoring: Detect lane drift
Remote linking approval based on truck, traffic, road, driver
Driver awareness enhancement: Blind spot display, full road visibility

System Benefits Safety
Peloton safety systems are always on even when trucks are not platooned Linking only enabled on appropriate stretches of highway NHTSA: Crash-avoidance systems can save $3.1B, reduce fatalities 44% Article: http://goo.gl/8SezR- Truck crashes in 2011 caused over 3700 fatalities- Fleets alone face crash costs of over $48B/year; national costs even higher
Fuel efficiency: 10+% savings US Class 8 trucks use approx. 25B gal of diesel/year Dramatic Economic, Health and Environmental benefits of fuel savings
Reducing congestion and new infrastructure requirements Accident prevention reduces congestion
Reduce fuel wasted from congestion Fewer new lanes/roads required
Requires no new infrastructure
