Convoy driving on highways is a desirable behavior which reduces the risk of highway accidents and makes traffic faster and more fluent. Recent technologies, such as intelligent cruise control devices explicitly facilitate convoy driving by providing a fully automated means for following the previous vehicle. Participating in a convoy, however, requires compromises from the vehicles, such as slowing down to the speed of the lead vehicle; thus many drivers choose not to join any convoy. Collaborative convoy driving systems, based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication, promise to deliver means for the vehicles to influence the speed of the convoy, thus improving its utility. We discuss the mechanisms of convoy participation, including the decision to join and leave the convoy, and the mechanisms through which the vehicles can influence the convoy speed. In an experimental study, we compare three influence mechanisms: the ``adapt speed to the leader'' mechanism used by human drivers and intelligent cruise control systems and two collaborative influence mechanisms which require vehicle to vehicle communication. We show that the collaborative cruise control methods deliver better macroscopic performance measures: more vehicles participating in convoys, higher average speed and lower number of overtakings.

Convoy driving on highways is a desirable behavior which reduces the risk
of highway accidents and makes traffic faster and more fluent. Recent
technologies, such as intelligent cruise control devices explicitly
facilitate convoy driving by providing a fully automated means for
following the previous vehicle. Participating in a convoy, however,
requires compromises from the vehicles, such as slowing down to the speed
of the lead vehicle; thus many drivers choose not to join any convoy.
Collaborative convoy driving systems, based on vehicle-to-vehicle
communication, promise to deliver means for the vehicles to influence the
speed of the convoy, thus improving its utility. We discuss the
mechanisms of convoy participation, including the decision to join and
leave the convoy, and the mechanisms through which the vehicles can
influence the convoy speed. In an experimental study, we compare three
influence mechanisms: the ``adapt speed to the leader'' mechanism used by
human drivers and intelligent cruise control systems and two
collaborative influence mechanisms which require vehicle to vehicle
communication. We show that the collaborative cruise control methods
deliver better macroscopic performance measures: more vehicles
participating in convoys, higher average speed and lower number of
overtakings.
