The publication "A comparison of mechanisms for compensating negative impacts of system integration" by Veronika Lesch (University of Würzburg) with co-authors Christian Krupitzer (Department of Food Informatics, University of Hohenheim), Kevin Stubenrauch (University of Würzburg), Nico Keil, Christian Becker (both University of Mannheim), Samuel Kounev (University of Würzburg) and Michele Segata (University of Bolzano, Italy) was published in Elsevier Future Generation Computing Systems (Impact Factor: 6.125).
The paper discusses different strategies for inducing vehicles to participate in platooning (column driving of automated vehicles). Our considerations integrate approaches to compensate for negative effects from platooning based on ideas from research on altruism, social science, organ donation, scheduling, and professional cycling. Our experiments show that the time spent in a negative-effects position is evenly distributed among all vehicles when our mechanisms are used. In addition, we found that characteristics of the environment - e.g., the number of lanes or traffic density - affect the performance of the compensation mechanisms. The publication is available in ScienceDirect.
