Abstract:This report documents the Test and Evaluation Plan of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Truck Platooning Early Deployment Assessment Phase 2 project. The test plan includes four stages: (a) Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) system performance test by PATH team, which combined step-by-step implementation and CACC system tests to make sure each component and the integrated CACC system behaves as expected technically; (b) Driver Acceptance Test (DAT), which would be a round trip drive of three fully loaded CACC trucks driven by professional truck drivers between Berkeley and Roly’s Trucking at Rancho Cucamonga in Southern California to test how the drivers would experience the behaviors of the CACC trucks in platooning operation; (c) Operational Readiness Test (ORT), which would be the test of the overall system including CACC truck platooning on the test route along Interstates 10 and 20, the data collection system on the trucks, the real-time monitoring system, the data acquisition system (DAS) and uploading from Roly’s Trucking to UC Berkeley, and the data logging and storage. This is to find out if the overall system is ready for the fourth stage, the Field Operational Test (FOT). The evaluation plan includes data-health checking, intermediate parameter (metadata) calculation and data analysis with respect to a list of performance measures such as truck-platoon behavior, traffic interactions, safety, fuel-economy benefits, logistics of truck-platoon fleet operations for freight movement, and drivers’ behaviors, opinions, and satisfaction with the CACC system, etc.
