Real-Time Cross-Fleet Pareto-Improving Truck Platoon Coordination

Truck Platoon Formation at Hubs: An Optimal Release Time Rule

“…In the agent-based approaches, the trucks are required to share their arrival schedules at hubs with each other. In [21], the authors studied platoon formation at multiple hubs when the decision-making of which platoons should form was distributed on coordinators at the hubs. In the above-mentioned work, the trucks are required to share their arrival schedules with the coordinators at the hubs.…”

Large-Scale Multi-Fleet Platoon Coordination: A Dynamic Programming Approach

“…This kind of method suffers from the inefficiency in seeking an equilibrium solution to the problem by iterations among trucks. In [29], the authors propose a Pareto-improving multi-fleet platoon coordination solution, where the fleet owners leave the coordination to local coordinators at hubs and each fleet owner is better off in the multi-fleet solution than by performing single-fleet platoon coordination. In [30], a three-layered approach for controlling individual vehicles is proposed, where the fleet management layer focuses on transport planning and routing while the cooperation layer deals with platoon coordination.…”
