Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015047182A1] A system and a method to organise a vehicle platoon. The system comprises a processor unit that is configured to determine a ratio bx for a vehicle fx that wishes to become a member of the vehicle platoon, which ratio describes the relationship between the maximum engine power of the vehicle fx and the mass of the vehicle, or the relationship between the maximum engine torque of the vehicle fx and the mass of the vehicle, to compare the ratio bx with at least one other ratio bk for a vehicle fk in the vehicle platoon, which ratio describes the relationship between the maximum engine power of the vehicle fk and the mass of the vehicle, or the relationship between the maximum engine torque of the vehicle fk and the mass of the vehicle, and to determine a location for the vehicle fx in the vehicle platoon based on the result of the comparison. The system is further configured to generate a location signal that indicates the location of the vehicle fx and to transmit the location signal to an indicator unit in the vehicle fx, whereby the location of the vehicle fx is designated for the driver of the vehicle fx.
