VEHICLE TO VEHICLE (V2V) COMMUNICATION LESS TRUCK PLATOONING

1 . A method for vehicle to vehicle communication less truck platooning, the method comprises:

monitoring, by a truck monitor, an environment of the truck to provide monitoring results;

determining, based on the sensed information, whether to engage in truck platooning with a set of at least one other truck;

engaging the truck platooning following determination to engage in the truck platooning; wherein the engaging comprises at least partially autonomously driving the truck based on the monitoring results.

2 . The method according to claim 1 comprising determining, based at least on the monitoring results, whether disengage the truck platooning.

3 . The method according to claim 2 wherein at least one of the determining of whether to engage and whether to disengage is based on a risk level associated with the truck platooning.

4 . The method according to claim 2 wherein at least one of the determining of whether to engage and whether to disengage is based on a comparison between the path of progress of the set and a desired path of progress of the truck.

5 . The method according to claim 2 wherein at least one of the determining of whether to engage and whether to disengage is based on an assessment of a risk level associated with the progress of the set.

6 . The method according to claim 2 wherein at least one of the determining of whether to engage and whether to disengage is based on an assessment of a risk level associated with road conditions.

7 . The method according to claim 2 wherein at least one of the determining of whether to engage and whether to disengage is based on an assessment of a risk level imposed by an entrance of a vehicle between members of a convoy.

8 . The method according to claim 2 wherein at least one of the determining of whether to engage and whether to disengage is based on a physiological state of a driver of the truck.

9 . The method according to claim 2 wherein at least one of the determining of whether to engage and whether to disengage is based on at least one out of (a) a relationship between a type of the vehicle and a type of the certain truck, (b) a relationship between a size of the vehicle and a size of the certain truck, and (c) a relationship between a weight of the vehicle and a weight of the certain truck.

10 . The method according to claim 2 wherein the engaging the truck platooning comprises engaging as a leading truck.

11 . The method according to claim 2 wherein the engaging the truck platooning comprises engaging as a following truck.

12 . The method according to claim 2 wherein the engaging comprises engaging the platooning at certain location, and then replacing locations with at least one other truck.

13 . The method according to claim 1 comprising receiving commands conveyed over vehicle to vehicle communication, wherein the commands are for determining driving of trucks while engaged in the truck platooning.

14 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein the at least partially autonomously driving the truck is executed regardless of the commands.

15 . The method according to claim 13 , comprising analyzing an accuracy of the commands and generating an alerts when the commands are inaccurate.

16 . The method according to claim 13 , comprising analyzing an accuracy of the commands and disengaging when the commands are inaccurate.

17 . The method according to claim 1 comprising dynamically determining am amount of control of the vehicle during the at least partially autonomously driving of the truck.

18 . A non-transitory computer readable medium for vehicle to vehicle communication less truck platooning, the non-transitory computer readable medium stores instructions for:

monitoring, by a truck monitor, an environment of the truck to provide monitoring results;

determining, based on the sensed information, whether to engage in truck platooning with a set of at least one other truck;

engaging the truck platooning following determination to engage in the truck platooning; wherein the engaging comprises at least partially autonomously driving the truck based on the monitoring results.

19 . A system for vehicle to vehicle communication less truck platooning, the system comprises:

a truck monitor that is configured to:

monitor an environment of the truck to provide monitoring results;

determine, based on the sensed information, whether to engage in truck platooning with a set of at least one other truck;

and participate in engaging the truck platooning following determination to engage in the truck platooning; wherein the engaging comprises at least partially autonomously driving the truck based on the monitoring results.
