Platooning systems
Platooning systems involve groups of vehicles, such as trucks or cars, traveling closely together using automated driving technology and vehicle-to-vehicle communication. This coordination allows the lead vehicle to control the speed and braking of following vehicles, reducing air resistance and improving fuel efficiency. It also enhances safety by maintaining consistent spacing and synchronized movements. Essentially, platooning creates a "road train" of linked vehicles that benefit from technological cooperation, leading to smoother traffic flow, energy savings, and potentially fewer accidents.
