Contribution for Green Road Freight Transportation: Truck Platoon Application Based on Fuzzy Logic
Résumé
A simple, Truck platoon is the process of coupling two or more trucks together while they are travelling on a highway. Truck platoon increases the productivity of road transportation sector and truck industries, reduction of green road freight operational costs as a result of fuel saving, and significant reduction of its environmental hazard due to the accumulation of greenhouse gas (Carbon dioxide) from green road freight transportation. This paper seeks to provide a framework towards applying the theory of fuzzy logic to monitor the green driver behaviors so as to achieve fuel savings and emission reduction using driving assessment models. This paper also explains the conditions for effective drag reduction through controlling driver behaviors, its contribution to the green freight road transportation industries and sharing of information that are pertinent to transportationvia V2V/V2I connectivity Conclusion was drawn and recommendation based on the environmental and trucks platoon characteristics of the green driver concept were made
