“…Disinterest in HATs is surprising being one of the main drivers of the development of AVs. Such vehicles are expected to reduce costs, increase safety, and improve efficiency (Dougherty et al, 2017). Being estimated "at least a decade in the future" (Nowak et al, 2016), this is still rather near.…”

Automated trucks for long-distance journeys seem within reach. With such automation, no human driver could be available. However, the last mile of the delivery is likely to involve humans. Therefore, either a human driver should still be present, or construction site workers must interact with the automated truck. While automated trucks capable of dealing with various construction sites could be feasible, the development could be costly and time-consuming. To define cooperative solutions for automated deliveries incorporating interaction between automated trucks and humans, a workshop with truck drivers (N = 7) was conducted. Based on this workshop, a model of the delivery process, including communication needs, is proposed. Requirements addressing the issues for highly automated delivery are derived from this process.

“…The cost of fuel is one of the highest operating expenses in the haulage industry, preceded only by salary costs. Engineering studies found potential fuel savings from multiple autonomous trucks platooning together (Dougherty et al, 2017). This can be seen as several trials were done using AGVs, where 12 AGVs platooned together in a European cross-border journey, where the leading truck achieved 5% on fuel saving and the following trucks achieved between 10-15% (Nasri et al, 2018).…”
