Background: In Japan, nearly 30% of trucks run empty despite the recent difficulties in
recruiting truck drivers, especially in the intercity freight transport market. If we consider the …

The objective of this paper is to formulate and analyze the benefits of a predictive non-linear
multi objective optimization method for a platoon of mild-hybrid line haul trucks. In this study …

Cooperative automated driving technology has emerged as a potential way to increase the
efficiency of transportation systems and enhance traffic safety by allowing vehicles to …

Platooning can reduce air drag when driving at high speed and improve aerodynamic
characteristics. It can not only improve fuel economy, driving comfort, and safety of drivers …

This paper proposes an adaptive shift schedule design framework based on dynamic
programming (DP) algorithm and fuzzy logical control to promote the shift schedule's …

In this paper we investigate cooperative truck overtaking maneuvers on the freeway. First,
we explain the necessity of truck overtaking maneuvers and then show their challenges …

The inefficiency of transporting goods contributes to reduced economic growth and
environmental sustainability in a country. Autonomous trucks (ATs) are emerging as a …

In recent years there has been dynamic progress in the development of fully autonomous
trucks and their combination and coordination into sets of vehicles moving behind each …

The significance of transportation infrastructure is increasing because of rising demand,
limited resources, and potential benefits of emerging technologies. This reality and the …

Autonomous platooning has emerged as a prominent trend in intelligent transportation
systems. However, in hybrid traffic situations where autonomous vehicles (AVs) coexist with …
