The influence of distance between vehicles in platoon on aerodynamic parameters

The paper presents the results of experimental and numerical research focused on the reduction of fuel consumption of vehicles driving one after another in a so-called platoon arrangement. The aerodynamic parameters and safety issues were analyzed in order to determine the optimal distance between t...
