- Truck platooning is a well-studied technology that has the potential to reduce both the environmental impact and operational costs of trucks. The technology has matured over the last 20 years, and the commercial rollout of platooning is approaching. Cooperation across carriers is essential for the viability of platooning; otherwise, many platooning opportunities are lost. We first present a cross-carrier platooning system architecture in which many carriers cooperate in forming platoons through a platoon-hailing service. Then, we present a cross-carrier platoon coordination approach in which each carrier optimizes its platooning plans according to the predicted plans of other carriers. A profit-sharing mechanism to even out the platooning profit in each platoon is embedded in the platoon coordination approach. Finally, a simulation study over the Swedish road network is performed to evaluate the potential of platooning under realistic conditions. The simulation study shows that the energy consumption of trucks in Sweden can be reduced by 5.4% due to platooning and that cooperation across carriers is essential to achieve significant platooning benefits.
