Abstract: A variety of methods, controllers and algorithms are described for identifying the back of a particular vehicle (e.g., a platoon partner) in a set of distance measurement scenes and/or for tracking the back of such a vehicle. The described techniques can be used in conjunction with a variety of different distance measuring technologies including radar, LIDAR, camera based distance measuring units and others. The described approaches are well suited for use in vehicle platooning and/or vehicle convoying systems including tractor-trailer truck platooning applications. In another aspect, technique are described for fusing sensor data obtained from different vehicles for use in the at least partial automatic control of a particular vehicle. The described techniques are well suited for use in conjunction with a variety of different vehicle control applications including platooning, convoying and other connected driving applications including tractor-trailer truck platooning applications.

Abstract: The system and methods comprising various aspects of the invention described herein disclose the coordination the platooning vehicles, including embodiments in which the same subset of satellite signals from a GNSS is used by all platooning vehicles to determine coordinates for position, relative position, and/or velocity. By using a uniform set of satellites for navigation calculations, discrepancies between the systems on different vehicles can be reduced, and a more uniform accuracy is achieved, allowing more predictable platooning.
