This brief summarizes an evaluation of the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA’s) investment in the truck platooning research project titled “Assessing the Feasibility of Deploying Partial Automation for Truck Platooning.” This research project included two complementary subprojects, titled “Partial Automation for Truck Platooning” (PATP) and “Driver-Assistive Truck Platooning” (DATP).

The purpose of the evaluation was to assess how the FHWA’s Office of Operations Research and Development’s work on truck-platooning research affected truck-platooning knowledge, the availability and quality of data, and the deployment of truck-platooning technology.
