The automotive platooning systems is defined as the collection of vehicles that travel together and which are in active coordination with each other. The vehicle platooning system uses different technologies to attain safe and competent transport. Platooning systems decrease the distance between two vehicles using electronic and mechanical coupling. This system allows the vehicles to accelerate or brake simultaneously. In addition to this, there are many advantages of automotive platooning systems. Some of them are increased traffic and fuel efficiency, more safety and driver comfort. There has been a lot of research and development activities over the past few years to make this concept a reality. The major players are also participating in several projects such as SARTRE, PATH, GCDC, Energy ITS, and many more, where this technique is tested and verified. The automotive platooning system is expected to be very lucrative market in the upcoming years.
