The SARTRE project develops and integrates solutions to allow trucks and cars to drive in platoons to reduce fuel consumption, increase safety, improve road congestion and increase driver convenience. The lead vehicle (LV) in the platoon is driven normally and the following vehicles (FVs) are automated, allowing the drivers to perform other tasks. The basic assumptions of the SARTRE project are that SARTRE platoons operate on public motorways, shared with other non‐platoon traffic, and that no changes to the road infrastructure is required. The project explores the issues around osperating platoons on public motorways, the integration of technologies necessary to achieve this, and potential charging mechanisms that support the business case. In SARTRE, the functional behavior is defined by use cases. The SARTRE demonstrator system includes both trucks and cars within the platoon. The cars are all of different types, with different body styles and different engines.
