Abstract

Highway vehicle platoon management is provided. Driver quality parameters are used together with vehicle physical characteristic and performance information to select an ordering of the vehicles within the platoon. The vehicles within the platoon mutually self-order to select the ordering of the vehicles within the platoon for enhanced safety and efficiency. The driver quality parameters togetherwith the vehicle physical characteristic and performance information is also used to reward best drivers with preferred locations within the platoon. The vehicles within the platoon mutually self-order to reward best drivers with preferred locations within the platoon. An existing vehicle platoon is selectively split into two or more smaller platoons for improving overall safety and efficiency. Two or more smaller vehicle platoons are selectively aggregated into a larger single platoon for improving overall safety and efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments herein relate generally to road vehicle fleet management. More specifically, certain embodiments relate to commercial on-highway vehicle fleet management, wherein vehicle performance characteristic parameters are used to select ranking of vehicles within the fleet, and best drivers are rewarded with preferred positions within the fleet based on driver quality parameters and metrics. In addition, certain embodiments relate to the selection of vehicles in the fleet by dividing the existing fleet of vehicles into two or more smaller fleets, and conversely aggregating the two or more smaller fleets of vehicles into a larger single fleet. Sorting within the team. Although the invention will be described with reference to these specific example embodiments, it should be understood that the claimed invention is applicable to other applications as well.
