Abstract: Concerns regarding climate emergency and road safety are driving technological innovation in the domain of freight transport using driving automation as means to achieve safer and more efficient transport. Truck platooning has emerged as a solution for achieving both Vision Zero and Zero-emission goals by 2050. Even though there have been important technological advances, perceptions regarding technology readiness hinder the deployment of the technology.
From the literature and focus groups sessions, we have identified a feedback loop where regulators see an opportunity for road safety improvement, but are waiting for the technology to mature, while OEMs require regulatory guidelines to select future investments.
To support the deployment of truck platooning technology, we propose a mixed methodology building on Service Science and Systems Approach methods. Our goal is to identify key actions that act as external forces in the freight transport ecosystem, breaking the loop between regulation and technology. After mapping the transport ecosystem and identifying key stakeholders, we developed a System Dynamics model by designing four causal loops diagrams. From the analysis of the diagrams, we selected key actions to break the cycle and reconciling the goals of each stakeholder.2026-05-26T00:00:00ZDo processo de profissionalização à construção de identidades profissionais no 1º CEBhttps://hdl.handle.net/10216/1744442026-05-28T06:53:25Z2004-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Do processo de profissionalização à construção de identidades profissionais no 1º CEB2004-01-01T00:00:00ZRequirements and expectations for truck platooning: a multidisciplinary perspectivehttps://hdl.handle.net/10216/1509252026-05-09T06:10:12Z2023-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Requirements and expectations for truck platooning: a multidisciplinary perspective
Abstract: Recent developments in vehicle automation are leading a paradigm change in respect to mobility of goods and people. Pushed by environmental concerns, researchers and practitioners seek new and innovative solutions. Nevertheless, the challenge of sustainable transport does not end with the use of clean fuels, as faster, cheaper, and more efficient transport is still desired by operators. The concepts behind truck automation and truck platooning technologies present potential for operations management efficiency and cost reduction. On the other hand, as drivers are still the main piece on a safe and efficient transport system, their working conditions must be ensured. Therefore, a multidisciplinary perspective on truck platooning is required, comprising the view of all the stakeholders involved in the development of safe and easily adopted technologies. In the context of the project TRAIN, we have developed exploratory research towards understanding and mapping the requirements for deploying truck platooning technology. Through a qualitative research, based on focus groups, we have identified three main areas of requirements from logistics companies: (i) labor, (ii) safety and liability, and (iii) transport and logistics. The analysis also showed that these areas are related to three research domains: (i) human factors and human-machine interaction, (ii) operations research and management, and (iii) policy and regulation.2023-01-01T00:00:00ZShaping engineering doctoral education for the 21st-century knowledge productionhttps://hdl.handle.net/10216/1688932026-04-30T06:43:50Z2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Shaping
