Abstract
Truck platooning refers to the coordinated operation of multiple trucks using connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technologies. By synchronizing movements, platoons can reduce fuel consumption and improve aerodynamic efficiency. However, little is known about how drivers judge the time-to-arrival of approaching truck platoons at intersections. In this study, participants acted as drivers of a partially automated vehicle traveling at 50 mph toward a 4-way intersection 2,500 feet ahead. Truck platoons, also traveling at 50 mph, approached from the left or right. Platoon configurations varied in the number of trucks and intervehicle spacing. Each platoon was visible for 3 s and then disappeared 3 s before reaching the intersection. Participants pressed a key when they believed the platoon would enter the intersection assuming constant speed. Results showed that intervehicle spacing had a stronger effect on underestimating time-to-arrival than platoon size. These findings provide guidance for configuring platoons to encourage safer decisions.
Truck platooning is a technology that allows multiple trucks to operate together using connected and automated vehicle (CAV) systems. It offers economic benefits, such as reducing fuel consumption and lowering emissions. However, little research has addressed how light-vehicle drivers perceive this technology. This stu...

(English) Platooning Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) via V2X communications is a transformative freeway strategy. Coordinated road trains with short space-gaps increase capacity, harmonize traffic, and reduce emissions. Realizing these benefits in mixed traffic requires integrating microscopic platoon dynamics...
With the growing deployment of automated vehicles (AVs) in urban road networks, their influence has become increasingly evident at intersections, where complex interactions with human-driven vehicles (HVs) can significantly affect traffic operations. While most studies have focused on freeway conditions, research in...

Occlusion-induced perception limitations at intersections remain a major safety challenge for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs), particularly when buildings, roadside structures, or surrounding traffic block the vehicle’s onboard sensors. This paper presents a roadside unit (RSU)-assisted cooperative perception s...
