"Avtosostavy" on the road after 3 years
Soon on European roads may appear from the road train cars that will communicate through a wireless connection.
The EU-funded project aims to find an inexpensive way to attract drivers to travel in groups. It is assumed that each road train will consist of up to 8 vehicles - cars, buses and trucks. Thus, it is planned to reduce fuel consumption, reduce travel time and the likelihood of traffic jams. According to preliminary calculations, the amount of combustion follow the leader convoy of fuel is reduced by 20%.
Home machine will be operated as part of a professional driver, whose mission - to monitor the condition of the train. The "haunting" cars will be able to relax, take his hands from the steering wheel and read a book or watch TV. Movement is controlled by the first car. First of all, the project SARTRE (Safe Road Trains for the Environment - Safe road trains for the environment) aims to help those drivers who often travel long distances on duty, but to attract such a system can be movements and commercial vehicles. According to the coordinator of the project from the company Ricardo Pobinsona Tom (Tom Robinson), the idea is to use a ready-made components on the market to "teach" the machine interact. Introduces significant changes in road infrastructure is also planned.
Solution stretched cables along roads with sensors that help control the trains, it would be too costly. In the case of SARTRE each vehicle will have its own system of control and surveillance. Sensors should collect information about the situation and send it to the leader staff who can assess the condition of the entire train. Another key feature of the plan is to make the road train active, that is, allow the machines to join them and to leave if necessary. Service will be charged a daily fee.

The emergence of SARTRE are expected in three years. Now the project participants are engaged in the study of the needs of system equipment. We also study issues such as the behavior of vehicles on the train, for example, the inclusion of an alarm. The priority is to guarantee the safety of drivers and in the column. SARTRE will be tested in the UK, Spain and Sweden.
