Report Description<br />

The automotive platooning systems is defined as the collection of vehicles that travel<br />

together and which are in active coordination with each other. The vehicle platooning<br />

system uses different technologies to attain safe and competent transport. <strong>Platooning</strong><br />

systems decrease the distance between two vehicles using electronic and mechanical<br />

coupling. This system allows the vehicles to accelerate or brake simultaneously. In<br />

addition to this, there are many advantages of automotive platooning systems. Some of<br />

them are increased traffic and fuel efficiency, more safety and driver comfort. There has<br />

been a lot of research and development activities over the past few years to make this<br />

concept a reality. The major players are also participating in several projects such as<br />

SARTRE, PATH, GCDC, Energy ITS, and many more, where this technique is tested and<br />

verified. The automotive platooning system is expected to be very lucrative market in the<br />

upcoming years.<br />

<strong>Automotive</strong> <strong>Platooning</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> <strong>Market</strong>: Drivers and Restraints<br />

One of the major driver for growth in the automotive platooning systems market is its<br />

added advantages such as great fuel economy, less traffic collisions and reduced<br />

congestion. The increasing automotive manufacturing is expected to boost the demand<br />

for automotive platooning systems, thus driving the global automotive platooning<br />

systems market. The major players in automotive platooning systems market are heavily<br />

investing in the development of platooning technology. The major challenges for the<br />

automotive platooning systems market are impaired drivers, technical errors of the<br />

vehicles and implementing new applications in existing road infrastructures.
