Abstract

Truck platooning has advantages for fuel consumption, road safety, and use of the existing road infrastructure. However, it does not simplify the job of truck drivers who reportedly fear driving in close distance and mistrust the automation. Prior work indicates that a platooning assistant system can help overcoming these issues. However, there are no practical experiences with on-the-road platooning that shed light on how drivers perceive and evaluate such a system. In this work, we close this gap and present PlatoonPal, a platooning assistance system which we rigorously developed in a user centered way. We further present the results of a field test with three platooning trucks where drivers used PlatoonPal under real conditions. The results show that drivers are positive using the system and preferred information related closely to the current situation. We conclude the paper with guidelines for the future development of assistance systems for platooning.

PlatoonPal:以用户为中心的重型卡车队列辅助系统开发与评估

卡车车队在燃料消耗、道路安全以及利用现有道路基础设施方面具有优势。然而，这并没有简化卡车司机的工作，据报道，他们害怕近距离驾驶，不信任自动化。先前的工作表明，队列辅助系统可以帮助克服这些问题。然而，目前还没有实际的道路队列驾驶经验来说明驾驶员如何感知和评估这种系统。在这项工作中，我们缩小了这一差距，并提出了PlatoonPal，这是我们以用户为中心的方式严格开发的队列辅助系统。我们进一步展示了三辆车队卡车的现场测试结果，司机在真实条件下使用PlatoonPal。结果表明，驾驶员对该系统的使用是积极的，并且偏好与当前情况密切相关的信息。最后，我们对队列辅助系统的未来发展提出了指导方针。
