RS31: How are Test Drivers Paving the Way for Truck Platooning?
RoadSigns A Transport Topics Podcast
Two trucks travel together in a tight formation on the highway, linked by connected vehicle technology. When the driver of the lead truck brakes, the following truck automatically follows suit. The two move synchronously along a route, maintaining close proximity and securing improved fuel economy. Test drivers now at the helm of these truck platoons say the experience is a lot like using adaptive cruise control on steroids. In this episode, host Seth Clevenger speaks with Mike Perkins and Derrick Loo, professional test drivers at Peloton, one of the companies at the forefront of developing truck platooning systems. Tune in to learn more about what they do and how it is paving the way for a commercial rollout of this technology.
