  1. 1. Heavy-Duty Vehicle Platooning : Modeling and Analysis

    Författare :Qichen Deng; Gunnar Flötteröd; Wilco Burghout; Clas Rydergren; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Sammanfattning : Coupled with the growth of world economy, the demand for freight transport has escalated and will continue to do so. As the traffic intensity increases, the pressure on infrastructure, energy usage and environment becomes higher than ever. Meanwhile, the number of traffic accidents is also increasing year by year as a result. LÄS MER
