Summary:

Safety, fuel economy and uptime are key requirements for the operation of heavy-duty line-haul trucks within a fleet. With the penetration of connectivity and automation technologies, energy optimal and safe operation of the trucks are further improved through Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) features and automated technologies as in truck platooning. Understanding the braking capability of the vehicle is very important for optimal ADAS and platooning control system design and integration. In this paper, the importance of tire connectivity and tire conditions on truck stopping distance are demonstrated through testing. The test data is further utilized to develop tire models for integration in an optimal vehicle automation for platooning. New ways to produce and use the tire related information in real-time optimal control of platooning trucks are proposed and the contribution of tire information in fuel economy is quantified through simulations. The simulation results of a truck in platooning indicate that both safety and fuel economy can be improved by more accurate estimation of safe minimum distance of the truck to the front vehicle
