1. Aerodynamics of vehicle platooning
Abstract : Many factors are pushing automotive manufacturers to increase the efficiency of their fleets; some of these are legislative (requiring reduced greenhouse gas emissions) as well as ensuring sufficient range and power consumption in electric vehicles. An important part of improving the energy efficiency of road vehicles is reducing their aerodynamic drag. READ MORE

2. Look-ahead control for fuel-efficient and safe heavy-duty vehicle platooning
Abstract : The operation of heavy-duty vehicles at small inter-vehicular distances, known as platoons, lowers the aerodynamic drag and, therefore, reduces fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Tests conducted on flat roads have shown the potential of platooning to reduce the fuel consumption of about 10%. READ MORE

4. Aerodynamics of two trucks driving in close-proximity
Abstract : There are several factors driving the development of vehicles with higher efficiency in society, chief among them are the emissions of greenhouse gases and their contribution to global warming. Therefore, there is a strong incentive to improve heavy-duty trucks' energy efficiency, supported by new legislation. READ MORE

5. Heavy-Duty Vehicle Platooning : Modeling and Analysis
Abstract : Coupled with the growth of world economy, the demand for freight transport has escalated and will continue to do so. As the traffic intensity increases, the pressure on infrastructure, energy usage and environment becomes higher than ever. Meanwhile, the number of traffic accidents is also increasing year by year as a result. READ MORE
