EU AUTOPILOT project: Platooning use case in Brainport

In the EU AUTOPILOT project, IoT is brought into the automotive world to transform connected vehicles — moving ‘things’ in the IoT ecosystem — into highly and fully automated vehicles. One of the considered use cases is the platooning use case, which is being tested at the Brainport pilot site in the Netherlands. The aim of this use case is to demonstrate the potential of IoT to improve vehicular platooning. To achieve this, several services and advanced vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity technologies have been developed and tested. This paper describes theses services and technologies, as well as evaluation results of the pilot tests.
