Development of Security Brake System for Automatic Platooning Trucks

Abstract

This paper deals with development of a security brake system for improvement safety of brake systems in the energy-saving ITS project. In former development, a redundant brake system had parallel placed with a main brake system for keeping a safety in automatic platooning experiment. However, these main and redundant brake systems have the same-type EBS computer. In this paper,safety brake as a third brake system is developed by mechanical type system for safety improvement in automatic platooning experiments.
