Abstract
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.
