doi:10.3969/j.issn.1007-7375.230246

Abstract

Abstract: Truck platooning organized by the logistics alliance may become a new form of future logistics transportation for reducing operating cost. The key technologies and related research progress on planning and control of connected autonomous truck (CAT) platooning is analyzed in this paper through literature search. From the perspective of commercial application, the challenges of currently implementing CAT platooning are discussed, also the cost allocation issues among relevant stakeholders are analyzed. From the perspective of technologies, the corresponding fundamentals and methods are interpreted considering planning and control of CAT platooning. By reviewing the existing studies of CAT platooning, the future research interests are concluded. The motivation of this paper is to provide a possible reference for researchers to understand the trends on CAT platooning.

Key words: connected autonomous truck (CAT), logistics and transportation, platoon planning, platoon control, system optimization
