Abstract:This report documents the Comprehensive Deployment Plan of the Truck Platooning Early Deployment Assessment Phase 2 project. It includes important aspects of the Field Operational Test (FOT): (a) technical approach for Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) including system functionality and some initial relevant functional safety considerations; (b) test and experimental design which includes: progressive CACC system performance tests by PATH project team in public traffic; professional truck driver acceptance test (DAT) 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; and Operational Readiness Test, which would be the test of the overall system including CACC truck platooning on the test route along Interstate-10 and 20, functionality of the data collection system on the trucks, the real-time monitoring system between the trucks and PATH team at Berkeley, data collection and uploading from Roly’s Trucking to the UC Berkeley Data Server; and finally the FOT; (c) Data Management Plan, which includes data collection, CACC system and data collection system real-time monitoring, data uploading from Roly’s Trucking to UC Berkeley Data System, data health check and correction, meta data calculation, and data sharing with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Independent Evaluator (IE); (d) Human Use Plan, which includes human use approval application for using professional truck drivers as test subjects, driver recruitment for FOT, questionnaire design for driver’s opinion, driver training and testing for qualification of operating the CACC trucks, etc.; (e) Partnership Plan for FOT, including partner group formation, fleet partner coordination, and stakeholder engagement strategy. The partnership is important since the FOT test route California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Therefore, stakeholders of the four states need to be involved for the FOT.
