    Abstract
  • Considering the power system difference between petrol vehicles and electric vehicles, and the influence of truck type on energy-saving effect in a platoon, the energy consumption characterization model of different truck platoon was proposed based on the truck physical energy consumption model and the energy-saving relationship matrix. The energy-saving model of a truck platoon was constructed to avoid the platoon operation efficiency loss. To maximize the energy-saving benefit of platoon operation, an optimization model of the heterogeneous truck platoon for low energy consumption was built with the constraints of truck quantities, platoon lengths, and platoon ranking positions, and then the platoon sizes and vehicle ranking for each platoon were optimized. Based on numerical experiments, the energy-saving performance of heterogeneous platoon was quantitatively analyzed, and the influence rules of driving conditions, energy-saving coefficient, and the proportion of vehicle type on energy consumption were analyzed. Research results show that compared with independent driving, the energy-saving rate of the heterogeneous truck platoon is 6.5% and 6.6% in the experiments with 12 and 18 vehicles, respectively. Compared with the homogeneous platoon, the energy-saving rate of the heterogeneous truck platoon increases by 4.6% and 4.8% in the experiments with 12 and 18 vehicles, respectively. The formation of heterogeneous truck platoon does not change with the driving conditions. Compared with the constant speed condition, the energy-saving rate is about 3.6% and relatively lower in the accelerated condition. In terms of vehicle ranking principles, petrol vehicles should be arranged according to the bell principle. Electric vehicles should be inserted according to the bell principle and are used to help petrol vehicles reduce energy consumption. Finally, priority should be given to the front positions of a platoon. With the rising speed, the energy-saving rate of a platoon increases with an elasticity of 0.05, which indicates that platoon technology can bring considerable benefit on the highway scenario. With the increasing proportion of electric vehicles, the energy-saving rate of the platoon rises slightly. The energy-saving coefficient exerts the greatest influence on the energy-saving rate of the platoon, with an elasticity of 1.2.
