The University of Illinois was awarded a three-year $290,358 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering Directorate (CFDA 47.041) to maximize truck platooning participation through novel approaches accounting for preferences, inclusion, and privacy preservation. The university will establish a theoretical foundation for optimizing truck platoon formation considering individual truck preferences, inclusion of vehicles with varying origins/destinations, and data privacy. Researchers will develop models for preference-based platoon partitioning and integer programming solutions, as well as measures for inclusive platoon formation. An encrypted computing system leveraging additive homomorphic encryption and secret key splitting techniques will enable privacy-preserving preference list construction. Disaggregate freight flow data will be used to evaluate the models at different geographic scales. In addition to advancing truck platooning research, results from this project are expected to inform several emerging smart mobility systems. The award period runs from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026.
