The future of freight transport: European Platooning Challenge
Published on Apr 20, 2016
Quote:
The European Platooning Challenge demonstrated what's possible with Vehicle-to-X (V2X), radar, and vision technology today. Six convoys demonstrated an application for self-driving technologies in trucks, called platooning. The front truck driver controls the platoon. All others follow autonomously, leaving braking and acceleration control to the lead vehicle.
V2X means that cars wirelessly exchange information with other vehicles or infrastructure systems. The technology is a combination of radar and camera-based systems for distance control and lane keeping, as well as V2X technology.
