Integrated Overtaking Model and Safety Analysis for Truck Platooning Requirements on Two-Lane Undivided Highways
Yu (Fred) Song
Abstract:Truck platooning is a promising solution for enhancing efficiency and reducing fuel consumption in freight transportation. However, overtaking truck platoons poses safety challenges that need to be addressed. This paper employs an overtaking model incorporating lane change dynamics, and a collision risk assessment to evaluate the safety risks involved in overtaking truck platoons. The safety assessment is presented through a numerical analysis that considers three aspects: roadway geometry, traffic conditions,… Show more
