Embodiment Construction

[0038]Various examples will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which some examples are shown. In the drawings, the thickness of lines, layers and / or regions may be exaggerated for clarity.

[0039] Therefore, while other examples are capable of various modifications and alternative forms, some specific examples thereof are shown in the drawings and will be described in detail later. However, this detailed description does not limit other examples to the specific forms described. Other examples may cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the disclosure. Throughout the description of the drawings, when providing the same or similar functions, like numerals refer to the same or similar elements, which may be implemented identically or in a modified form when compared with each other.

[0040] It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "connected" or "coupled" to another e...

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a concept for coordinating an emergency braking of a platoon (100) of communicatively coupled vehicles (110). In response to an emergency situation (120), individual braking control settings are centrally determined (230) for one or more vehicles (110) of the platoon (100) by a managing entity (110-3) managing the platoon (100). The individual braking control settings are communicated (240) from the managing entity (110-3) to the one or more vehicles (110) of the platoon (100). The one or more vehicles (110) of the platoon (100) brake (250) in accordance with its respective individual braking control settings received from the managing entity (110-3).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to autonomous driving in convoys (so-called platoons), and more particularly to controlling or coordinating emergency braking of vehicles participating in such platoons. Background technique [0002] Grouping vehicles into platoons increases road capacity. Platoons of vehicles are often electronically linked to reduce the distance between cars or trucks. Truck platoons in particular are candidates of interest to the transportation sector. The truck platoon consists of a number of trucks equipped with driver assistance systems (eg Adaptive Cruise Control, ACC) one behind the other. This forms platoons of trucks powered by smart technology and communicating with each other, for example via Car2Car communication technology. With accompanying trucks braking immediately, reaction time is essentially zero, and platooning improves traffic safety. Platooning also saves costs when trucks are driven close together at ...
