LECTURE NOTES IN INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION AND...

This open access book presents research and evaluation results of the Austrian flagship project
Connecting Austria  illustrating the wide range of research needs and questions that arise when
semi-automated truck platooning is deployed in Austria. The work presented is introduced in the
context of work in similar research areas around the world. This interdisciplinary research
effort considers aspects of engineering  road-vehicle and infrastructure technologies  traffic
management and optimization  traffic safety  and psychology  as well as potential economic
effects. The book's broad perspective means that readers interested in current and
state-of-the-art methods and techniques for the realization of semi-automated driving and with
either an engineering background or with a less technical background gain a comprehensive
picture of this important subject. The contributors address many questions such as: Which
maneuvers does a platoon typically have to carry out  and how? How can platoons be integrated
seamlessly in the traffic flow without becoming an obstacle to individual road users? What
trade-offs between system information (sensors  communication effort  etc.) and efficiency are
realistic? How can intersections be passed by a platoon in an intelligent fashion?
Consideration of diverse disciplines and highlighting their meaning for semi-automated truck
platooning  together with the highlighting of necessary research and evaluation patterns to
address such a broad task scientifically  makes Energy-Efficient and Semi-automated Truck
Platooning a unique contribution with methods that can be extended and adapted beyond the
geographical area of the research reported.
