Abstract
The concept of truck platooning comes from the virtual linking of two or more trucks driving on the road in convoy, with a short distance between them. These vehicles keep the distance using SAE level 2 or 3 automated driving technology supported by a Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control system. The first truck is considered the leader and the following truck(s) react(s) and adapt(s) their speed and position on the lane without human action.
The TRAIN project addresses these issues through a Human-Centred approach to identify requirements for the development of truck platooning technology and assesses risks towards a safe deployment in the real world. Following the collection of qualitative data from experienced truck drivers, tests in a driving simulator will allow for identifying risks related to the drivers’ activity in truck platooning.
Finally, design and operational guidelines highlighting the importance of human-system integration in the system development will be issued.
