Final Technical Report - Fuel-Efficient Platooning in Mixed Traffic Highway Environments [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Platooning has become a focus area for heavy-duty vehicle fuel savings during highway driving. Often, the platoon formation is controlled by a system called Coordinated Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC). CACC platooning seeks aerodynamic fuel economy benefits while simultaneously decreasing driver strain by setting and maintaining a desired headway from preceding vehicles. Under close following conditions, the controller must exhibit robust characteristics during testing to be considered safe. Specific to this study, real-time vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication shares vehicle state information among members of the same platoon, enhancing control response as the platoon members adjust to surrounding vehicles. Trucks not on the leading or trailing edge of the platoon exhibit benefits stemming from a push effect from the truck behind and a pull effect from the truck preceding it.
