A Review on Cooperative Driving for Vehicle Platooning

Abstract: In this era of automation, vehicle cooperative driving is one of innovations in the automotive industry that aim to improve the safety, traffic flow efficiency, mileage and time of travel of vehicles while decreasing pollution and reducing stress for drivers. Having interconnected vehicles on road can to some extent reduce the accidents caused basically due to lack of human intervention on time. In this paper we discuss how we can make interconnected vehicle platooning a reality with Cooperative driving technology.
