Platooning for Improved Safety and Efficiency of Semi-trucks [PISES - III] |
摘要: |
Electrification and platooning are two major technology drivers that can lead to both lower costs and emissions for transportation. The on-going project continues to identify the synergy between these two mega-trends around platooning and electrification. In the first year of the project, the research team has built high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics models to estimate the effects of platooning on the aerodynamics and subsequently, the energy consumption. In the second year of the project, the team has built machine-learning accelerated models to determine the aerodynamics of platoons. In this project, the team will now be able to address several key questions around (i) the effect of platooning configurations and added sensor stack for platooning and (ii) trade-off between safety and energy savings related to velocity smoothing. |
