Abstract: Platooning vehicles can result in operational advantages. The distance between a leading vehicle and a trailing vehicle is controlled to provide thermal management for the trailing vehicle in response to a warm-up or cold start condition. The order of the vehicles can also be changed in response to the temperature condition of one or more vehicles in the platoon.

Abstract: A system comprises a platoon controller operably coupled to a first controller of a first vehicle and a second controller of a second vehicle included in a vehicle platoon. The platoon controller is configured to determine a geolocation of each vehicle. The platoon controller determines a plurality of route parameters of a vehicle platoon route ahead of a current geolocation of each vehicle, and also determines an engine speed and a powertrain load of the vehicles for reducing an energy consumption based on the plurality of route parameters. Furthermore, the platoon controller instructs at least one of the first controller and the second controller to selectively adjust the engine speed and the powertrain load of the vehicles based on the geolocation of each vehicle on the vehicle platoon route.
