Heavy duty (HD) vehicles platooning under highway operating conditions, have been projected to provide significant fuel economy (FE) gains based on aerodynamic drag reduction of the platooning vehicles. Realizing these benefits under real-world operating conditions have several challenges. This paper (the second as part of series) quantifies the minimum admissible separation distance between platooning vehicles in HD commercial vehicle (CV) applications. This distance must be set up such that no collision occurs with leading vehicles under all deceleration conditions. In this paper key interactions to characterize this distance are demonstrated. These include, road surface conditions, grade, inter-vehicle communication delays, air-brake lag time, vehicle speed, weight, and aerodynamic drag. It is seen that characterizing the vehicle and road dynamics will be critical in establishing required deceleration or stopping distances for each vehicle in a platoon. The results of the study also necessitate vehicle control systems that can dynamically adjust not only the separation distances but also the braking reference points based on road conditions. The narrative provides application decision personnel with a well-defined set of admissible separation distance impact factors to consider as part of their architecture selection process.
