Energy efficient strategy for heterogeneous truck platooning based on a non-uniform platooning model.

To investigate the energy-saving advantages of truck platoons, this study focused on two, three, and six-axle trucks as research subjects. A non-uniform platoon model of trucks was constructed based on braking performance differences. The aerodynamic characteristics of the non-uniform platoon fleet were analyzed in depth using numerical simulation methods, and the fuel consumption rate of the fleet was calculated.

R2DS: A novel hierarchical framework for driver fatigue detection in mountain freeway.

Fatigue driving is one of the main factors which affect the safety of drivers and passengers in mountain freeway. To improve the driving safety, the application of fatigue driving detection system is a crucial measure. Accuracy, speed and robustness are key performances of fatigue detection system.
