Connectivity between vehicles will enable platoons of connected automated vehicles (CAV) to operate on their dedicated lanes on highways in the future. Platoon is an entity comprised of several parameters which generate the throughput of the platoon lane. These parameters are the headways, speed, and length of platoon. The parameters are either discrete or continuous and have a random nature, while being within certain acceptable ranges determined for the safety and functionality of the platoon lane. This article investigates how the change of the platoon parameter’s effect the throughput of the platoon lane. Safety, comfort, and operational robustness are the major factors in determining the formation and operation of platoons. Currently, researchers and engineers are testing the influence of platoon parameters in the operation of these lanes. This article investigates the mathematical structure of the platoon lane parameters and how the change of the platoon’s parameter effect the throughput of the platoon lane. The results provided a sensitivity analysis and the nature of the platoon lane parameters and can be used for research and analysis of platoon lanes.
