AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing vehicle grouping control systems require selection of vehicles for platooning among all other vehicles or groups, leading to inefficient organization of platoons.

Method used

A platoon vehicle determination apparatus that stores unique information of third vehicles likely to form platoons with a first vehicle and recognizes surrounding vehicles with matching unique information as candidates for a second vehicle, using inter-vehicle communication and a control system to efficiently determine platoon members.

Benefits of technology

This approach allows for efficient organization of platoons by identifying suitable vehicles based on shared unique information, reducing the need for exhaustive vehicle evaluation and enhancing platoon formation efficiency.

Abstract

Device (1) for determining a platoon vehicle, configured to determine a second vehicle to be organized in a platoon with a first vehicle, wherein the device (1) for determining a platoon vehicle comprises: - a memory section (5) configured to store unique information of a third vehicle, different from the first vehicle, in conjunction with the vehicle information of the first vehicle; - a vehicle detection section (32) configured to detect, as a candidate for the second vehicle, a vehicle with the same unique information as the unique information stored in the memory section (5) from the surrounding vehicles in an area around the first vehicle;- a detection section (31) configured to capture vehicle information relating to the candidate for the second vehicle detected by the vehicle detection section (32); and - a determination section (33) configured to determine whether the candidate for the second vehicle is the second vehicle to be included in the platoon, based on the vehicle information of the candidate for the second vehicle captured by the detection section (31) and the vehicle information of the first vehicle associated with the unique information of the third vehicle.
