Car-trains
are a possible key advance in transportation technology. They have the
potential to alleviate congestion by increasing throughput (number of
vehicles per lane per hour) by a factor of at least two. Vehicles that
are physically coupled or able to follow with a gap of less than 1 foot
can reduce aerodynamic drag more than 50%. However, significant
development issues regarding the controllability, safety and new driver behavior remain to be resolved... |
