摘要:
A system (4) and method to control a vehicle platoon that comprises at least one lead vehicle and one additional vehicle, each of which has a positioning unit (1 ) and a unit (2) for wireless communication. The system comprises a driving profile unit (6) configured to determine two different common driving strategies adapted to be applied for all vehicles in the vehicle platoon, whereby these driving strategies are constituted by a common position-based driving strategy and a common time-based driving strategy. The system comprises an analysis unit (7) that is configured to: - receive and evaluate one or several driving strategy criteria values (8), - determine whether the said time-based driving strategy or position-based driving strategy is to be used, depending on the result of the said evaluation, - generate a driving strategy signal that indicates the driving strategy that has been determined, and - transmit the driving strategy signal to all vehicles in the vehicle platoon that are affected by the driving strategy, after which the vehicles in the vehicle platoon are controlled according to the driving strategy.
摘要:
A system and a method for a vehicle platoon that comprises at least one lead vehicle and one additional vehicle, each of which has a positioning unit and a unit for wireless communication. The system comprises a profile unit configured to determine a profile for at least one vehicle in the vehicle platoon with the aid of positional data and map data for a road ahead, which profile contains at least one property of the road ahead. The system comprises also an analysis unit that is configured to determine at least one actual property of the road ahead, to determine correctional data &bgr; based on the at least one actual property of the road ahead and the at least one property of the profile whereby the actual property and the at least one property of the profile concern essentially the same property and to pass the correctional data &bgr; to at least one vehicle fk in the vehicle platoon.
摘要:
A system and a method to organise a vehicle platoon. The system comprises a processor unit that is configured to determine a ratio bx for a vehicle fx that wishes to become a member of the vehicle platoon, which ratio describes the relationship between the maximum engine power of the vehicle fx and the mass of the vehicle, or the relationship between the maximum engine torque of the vehicle fx and the mass of the vehicle, to compare the ratio bx with at least one other ratio bk for a vehicle fk in the vehicle platoon, which ratio describes the relationship between the maximum engine power of the vehicle fk and the mass of the vehicle, or the relationship between the maximum engine torque of the vehicle fk and the mass of the vehicle, and to determine a location for the vehicle fx in the vehicle platoon based on the result of the comparison. The system is further configured to generate a location signal that indicates the location of the vehicle fx and to transmit the location signal to an indicator unit in the vehicle fx, whereby the location of the vehicle fx is designated for the driver of the vehicle fx.
摘要:
A system (4) to control a vehicle platoon that comprises at least one lead vehicle and one additional vehicle, each of which has a positioning unit (1) and a unit (2) for wireless communication, and a method to control a vehicle platoon. The system and method comprise to: - determine a common position-based driving strategy adapted to be applied for all vehicles in the vehicle platoon along a road horizon for the road ahead of the vehicle platoon, wherein the driving strategy comprises a driving profile comprising target values b, and associated positions p,, and to - pass the driving strategy to all vehicles in the vehicle platoon, after which the vehicles in the vehicle platoon are control according to the driving strategy, wherein the said target values are applied for each one of the vehicles at each position associated with a target value.
