Platooning for Improved Safety and Efficiency of Semi-trucks [PISES - IV] |
摘要: |
In order to be improve the mobility of goods, energy-efficiency is critical for economics and platooning is a critical enabler to improves the productivity of freight movement. The project builds on earlier projects, PISES I-III, to build advanced simulation capabilities for understanding platooning in real-world environments. In particular, in this project, the research team will focus on estimating the overall power draw of the platoon using a platooning aware drag coefficient. In order to develop a model for platoon-aware drag coefficient over a wide range of operating conditions, the team will perform a series of computation fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of platoons of trucks in single vehicle and platoon configurations. This will guide energy-estimation in real-world conditions which will be compared against real-world data obtained through deployment partner, Locomation. |
