VEHICLE PLATOON SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A vehicle platoon system, comprising:
- a trajectory module disposed at a leading vehicle for obtaining and recording a plurality of first position data and a driving data from a driving condition of the leading vehicle to establish a movement trajectory according to the first position data, wherein the first position data and the driving data constitute a first data;
an operation module disposed at a following vehicle for obtaining a second data and receiving the first data, the operation module driving the following vehicle with the second data to enable the following vehicle to move along or on the movement trajectory, the operation module operating the following vehicle according to the first data to enable the following vehicle to carry out the driving condition of the leading vehicle on the movement trajectory, wherein the second data is associated with a direction of and a distance between the leading vehicle and the following vehicle; and
a control module disposed at at least one of the leading vehicle and the following vehicle, the control module measuring an interval distance between the leading vehicle and the following vehicle and adjusting a speed of at least one of the leading vehicle and the following vehicle so as to maintain the interval distance within a predetermined range.

Abstract
A vehicle platoon system comprises a trajectory module, an operation module and a control module. The trajectory module obtains and records a first data from a driving condition of the leading vehicle to establish a movement trajectory. The operation module obtains a second data and receives the first data to enable the following vehicle to move along or on the movement trajectory and carry out the driving condition of the leading vehicle. The control module measures an interval distance between the leading vehicle and the following vehicle to adjust a speed of at least one of the leading vehicle and the following vehicle so as to maintain the interval distance within a predetermined range. A vehicle platooning method is also provided.

10. A vehicle platooning method, comprising:
-
(a) according to a driving condition of a leading vehicle, obtaining a plurality of first position data and a driving data of the leading vehicle to form a first data, and establishing a movement trajectory according to the first position data; (b) obtaining a second data which is associated with a relative position of the leading vehicle and a following vehicle; (c) processing the first data and the second data to drive the following vehicle to move along or on the movement trajectory; (d) the following vehicle carrying out the driving condition of the leading vehicle on the movement trajectory according to the first data; and (e) determining an interval distance between the leading vehicle and the following vehicle so as to adjust a speed of the following vehicle based on the first data so as to maintain the interval distance within a predetermined range. - View Dependent Claims (11)
