Long-term Measurement for Automatic Driving of Trailer-type Truck

Abstract

This paper deals with a feasibility study of sensor systems for automatic driving in a private road. The energy-saving ITS project has been researching for the automatic platooning driving of heavy-duty vehicles using several sensing systems. In this research, a usability of the sensing system is examined by a long term measurement environment. Therefore, the sensing system for the long term measurement is constructed in a trailer-type heavy duty vehicle. The sensing systems work during the vehicle running in the private road.computer. In this paper, safety brake as a third brake system is developed by mechanical type system for safety improvement in automatic platooning experiments.
