Real-world impacts of truck driving with Adaptive Cruise Control on fuel consumption, driver behaviour and logistics - results from a hybrid field operational tests and naturallistic driving study in the Netherlands
report
Introduction: increased automation logistics starting with ADAS systems
Digitization and automation are progressing fast in transport and logistics.
Technological advancement is driving the level of automation and autonomy of
vehicles, moving from driver-assisted technologies (Advanced Driver Assistance
Systems; ADAS) to autonomous transport systems where driving tasks are taken
over from the human driver by automated driving system (ADS). More and more
vehicles are equipped as standard with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).
This ADAS system supports the driver in the longitudinal driving task by keeping
a gap to preceding vehicles. This system is considered as a first step towards
Truck Platooning as a broad concept with varying levels of automation. Initially,
Truck Platooning may materialize as Cooperative-ACC (C-ACC) Truck Platooning
and subsequently evolve towards Highly Automated (unmanned) Truck Platooning
in the future.
