Abstract:
A system and a method for adjusting a yielding space of a platoon are provided. The system can include camera modules, sensors, interface circuitry, processing circuitry, and memory. The sensors can detect one or more behaviors of one or more vehicles adjacent to the platoon. The processing circuitry can determine one or more triggering events between the one or more vehicles and the platoon based on the one or more behaviors. The processing circuitry can adjust the yielding space of the platoon.
