Cooperative truck platooning, electronically linking two or more trucks in convoys, holds great potential for improving energy efficiency, reducing vehicle emissions, and enhancing traffic safety. However, conducting commercially focused truck platooning operations in real-world winter driving conditions poses significant challenges. This study presents the experimental results of a pioneering truck platooning trial conducted on Canadian public roads. Two Class 8 heavy-duty trucks equipped with cooperative truck platooning systems (CTPS) classified as SAE Level 2 automation were used in the trial. A total of 41 CTPS trips were carried out on Alberta Highway 2 between Calgary and Edmonton during the winter season at ambient temperatures ranging from −27 to 12 ℃, while the weight of each truck varied from 16 to 39 ton. The outcomes of these experiments provided conclusive evidence supporting the feasibility of implementing CTPS with time gaps ranging from 3 to 5 s on public roads during winter seasons. The average platooning engagement ratio, accounting for 4 road surface conditions, reached 60.7%, with the maximum engagement ratio peaking at 96.0%. Moreover, it was observed that on flat roads, the fuel consumption of the follower truck in the platoon reduced by an average of 5.8%, while on hilly terrain, there was an average increase of 10.7%. The traffic interactions of cut-ins and cut-outs resulted in the follower truck consuming an average of 20.6% more fuel compared to the lead truck. This study enhances the understanding of implementing truck platooning in commercial operations under winter driving conditions.
