Autonomous vehicles hold a lot of promise for the future of mobility. For commercial heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs), the concept of platooning has been steadily maturing. A key challenge in this technology is meeting various platoon performance criteria like string stability, improved fuel efficiency, drag reduction, etc., which requires the use of simulation. In this paper, a MATLAB/Simulink-based concept framework is proposed that can be used to simulate HDV platoons for longitudinal control scenario and evaluate their performance with respect to design goals. The results show that the framework is able to produce useful results which can be used in developing platoons. It can be used as a basis for developing more sophisticated and accurate simulations.
