Abstract
This research is carried out to determine the effect of truck platooning on traffic flow using empirical data. This research contains two parts, data fusion, and statistical analysis. For data fusion, loop detector data, infrastructure information and weather data will be added to the original data set. For statistical analysis, the time gap distributions under different categories are analyzed to determine the performance of the truck platoon. Additionally, an analysis of the lane change behavior is included.
