Abstract: Truck platooning is a technology allowing trucks to travel in convoy formation using wireless communications and advanced driver assistance systems. This technology is expected to increase road safety and capacity, and to decrease fuel consumption and GHG emissions; it comes with apparently important financial benefits and positive externalities. However, forecasting the market uptake of platooning is a complex economic issue, requiring a dedicated methodology.
