论文摘要
我们建模了一个排队系统，包括卡车和第三方服务提供商，该服务提供商进行排协调，分配排在排的排列利润，并向卡车收取费用以换取其服务。本文研究了一类定价规则，第三方服务提供商每次形成排时都会保持一部分排在第排的利润。此外，我们提出了基于分布式模型预测控制的排相协调解决方案，其中定价规则是集成的。为了评估定价对排量系统的影响，我们对瑞典道路网络进行了模拟。模拟表明，排成率和利润在很大程度上取决于定价。这表明，需要仔细设定定价，以便将来获得令人满意的平台系统。
We model a platooning system including trucks and a third-party service provider that performs platoon coordination, distributes the platooning profit within platoons, and charges the trucks in exchange for its services. This paper studies one class of pricing rules, where the third-party service provider keeps part of the platooning profit each time a platoon is formed. Furthermore, we propose a platoon coordination solution based on distributed model predictive control in which the pricing rule is integrated. To evaluate the effect of the pricing on the platooning system, we perform a simulation over the Swedish road network. The simulation shows that the platooning rate and profit highly depend on the pricing. This suggests that pricing needs to be set carefully to obtain a satisfactory platooning system in the future.
