Impacts of Truck Platooning at Motorway On-ramps: Analysis of traffic performance and safety effects of different platooning strategies and platoon configurations using microscopic simulation

In this research, insight is gained into the impacts of truck platooning on traffic performance and safety at motorway on-ramps in mixed traffic using microscopic simulation. Thereby different platooning strategies and platoon configurations are considered, that for instance differ in desired platoon inter-vehicle gaps and platoon sizes. The...
