Title: Development of Back-up Brake System for Automatic Platooning Trucks
Abstract: This paper deals with development of a back-up brake system for improvement safety of brake systems in the energy-saving intelligent transportation systems (ITS) project. In former development, a redundant brake system had parallel placed with a main brake system for keeping a safety in automatic platooning experiment. However, these main and redundant brake systems have the same-type EBS computer. In this paper, mechanical brake as a third brake system is developed by mechanical type system for safety improvement in automatic platooning experiments. Moreover, braking experiment using the heavy-duty vehicle was carried out. From the experimental results, a possibility of a practical use of the mechanical brake system was revealed for the automatic driving of the heavy-duty vehicle.
