Influence of Acceleration-and-Deceleration Information to Following Vehicles

In this paper, the system which performs information indicating of acceleration and deceleration to the following vehicles which aimed at the propagation to the general vehicles of the following vehicle of ecological-drive control and the reduction of wasteful acceleration and deceleration in a automated driving and platooning system of a truck is proposed. Not only a platooning system but the application to general vehicles is taken into consideration. The subject experiment of the vehicle following using real vehicles is conducted, and the influence on safety or fuel consumption is described from a verification result.
