Platooning technology within vehicle in our ever-connected era
In have a pleasure to recall that, in vehicle platooning, multiple cars, buses, and trucks travel at an aerodynamically efficient distance and drive cooperatively by maintaining the distance at high speeds. For this purpose, the platooning system uses advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) installed in the vehicles along with high-end explicit platooning algorithms involving sensor fusion of radar, LiDAR, and cameras. Wireless connectivity enables communications among vehicle fleets.
The vehicles in the platoon automatically synchronize speed and braking actions, thereby resulting in higher fuel efficiency for all vehicles in the platoon.
It is also indispensable to recall that, in
platooning technology, sensors play a critical role in maintaining distances
between moving vehicles and to detect road conditions and driving scenarios.
