Mapping Risks and Requirements for Truck Platooning: A Human-Centred Approach

The concept of truck platooning comes from the virtual linking of two or more trucks driving on the road in convoy, with a short distance between them. These vehicles keep the distance using SAE level 2 or 3 automated driving technology supported by a Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control system. The first truck is considered the leader and the following truck(s) react(s) and adapt(s) their speed and position on the lane without human action.
