Vehicles on the road with some common interests can cooperatively form a platoon-based
driving pattern, in which a vehicle follows another vehicle and maintains a small and nearly …

A truck platoon is a set of virtually linked trucks that drive closely behind one another using
automated driving technology. Benefits of truck platooning include cost savings, reduced …

Cooperative driving in general and Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) or
platooning in particular require blending control theory, communications and networking, as …

Cooperative Driving requires ultra-reliable communications, and it is now clear that no
single technology will ever be able to satisfy such stringent requirements, if only because …

Cooperative driving is an essential component of future intelligent road systems. It promises
greater safety, reducing accidents due to drivers distraction, improved infrastructure …

Car-following is the most general behavior in highway driving. It is crucial to recognize the
cut-in intention of vehicles from an adjacent lane for safe and cooperative driving. In this …

Connectivity and autonomy are considered two of the most promising technologies to
improve mobility, fuel consumption, travel time, and traffic safety in the automated …

Given the current capabilities of autonomous vehicles, one can easily imagine autonomous
vehicles being released on the road in the near future. However, it can be assumed that this …

We study the problem of platoon formation, trying to optimize traveling time and fuel
consumption based on car-to-platoon assignments. The general concept of platooning, ie …

This paper presents the interaction protocols developed for execution of two common
scenarios in daily traffic using cooperative automated vehicles. The first proposed scenario …
