Truck Platooning Market Analysis by Trends, Size, Share, Growth Opportunities, and Emerging Technologies

It is common to hear in the news that a truck met with an accident, and the truck driver got badly injured or died. According to the data of National Safety Council, 5700 large trucks were involved in a fatal crash in 2021, which was 18% more than the preceding year.

So, the challenges involved in the day-to-day job of a truck driver on the job is a big reason for the shortage of labor in the industry. Trucking also involves long, hours spent squeezed into a cab. There are strict deadlines to be met, and this job requires the utmost attention. It is important that quality of life of the trucker should be improved, and truck platooning can surely help you with the way forward.

It is a Semi-Autonomous Approach

If you talk about platooning, it does not replace the existing trucks with a driverless solution, so, it is clear that it is not about full autonomy. Yes, you can always think of platooning as a strategy, which is made possible with the help of the developments in the field of connected driving.

Platooning is when many trucks, in the guidance of a lead truck can follow each other closely. These can accelerate, break, and take a turn while semi-automatic features in the lead truck reduces the probability of human error. Although, the lead truck is controlling the fleet, the following trucks will also have drivers so that they can complete their scheduled deliveries, by breaking the chain.

Fuel Costs are Reduced Considerably

It is not just about enhanced safety but, platooning can do good for the truck drivers and the trucking companies as well. By letting trucks to drive in close proximity, there is a reduction of the aerodynamic drag and the space taken by the trucks on the road, reducing the costs of fuel.

Room For Relaxation on the Roads

This might spring a surprise to many that how it is possible to have a room for relaxation, and that too while driving such a heavy vehicle, like truck. But, believe me it is true.

Platooning also enhances the experience of trucking. Drivers in the trucks, following the lead feel comfortable because of the presence of technology. It allows them to take their foot of the pedal and relax.

The Concept of Tele-Trucking

With the improvement in technology, platooning could transform the trucking industry. Drivers can monitor and operate their trucks remotely. And many drivers could work from the same room, decreasing the level of loneliness.

There is often a threat to people with technology, that it could replace people but it is too hard to be true. With the implementation of truck platooning, it will not replace people, but it would take out the dullness from their jobs and make it more enjoyable.

Final Sum Up

It is quite clear that due to the need for safer road transport by the people, and to make the life of the truckers a bit easier, the demand for truck platooning will continue to advance in the future.

Bare with me, I've got an idea that combines TFP Shockwave's invention of the cortical psychic patch, what motivation a Shattered Glass Shockwave might have made it, plus more broad cybertronian biology headcanons and how it lead to the invention of the cortical psychic patch in the first place-

Um... let's go!

To start, let's go in reverse order by talking cybertronian biology, or more specifically the more wire based functions of a more literal less sex version of interface panels. Because cybertronians are biomechanical aliens who's only method of 'reproduction' canonically (in most series) is through being birthed by the planet itself - on hold while Primus and Cybertron are dead - when I say 'interface panels' I mean panels housing plugs and ports that are typically there for medical stuff and otherwise data transfers or for use in hardware depending on the individual. The number of panels is relatively consistent and the number of in/out connections depends on the size of the bot (more for larger frames, less for smaller) and are kinda paired to whatever systems they are nearest location wise; two on either side of the hips or one each at the top of the legs, two on either side of the chest or one each at the top of the arms.

Depending on the location you can read the diagnostics of that part of the frame in more detail than if you tried investigating the same part in an entirely different panel; you're gonna get a more accurate read on damages to the left arm in the left arm panels then you are on the right leg. And for particular frames, the interface panels are used to control objects using the relevant limb or part - like a robotic arm to lift things heavier than your frame can handle - and probably even to have your frame be used AS a limb; combiner limbs would connect to whoever's the main body and interface with the relevant limb panel.

But there are panels that are explicitly medical use only, that being internal panels adjunct to the sparkchamber as well as another for specific monitoring of a cybertronian's organs, and paneling at the back of the helm or where it meets the neck for the processor and all the delicate software it holds. Bots with medical programing like Ratchet can interface with those panels directly in the event of a lack of resources (AKA the entirety of Transformers: Prime), and in fact the panel along the sparkchamber would be the easiest way to get a general systems check on a patient. Mecha like Knock Out who may or may not have actual history with being a medical doctor probably would have a harder time directly interfacing with the more delicate sparkchamber, organ, and processor panels, but he and Ratchet (and other bots with even the vaguest sense of medical training) can set up a line running to a monitor or sparkreader or any other medical hardware to fully take in a data analysis, even if it means more resources are used or that vulnerabilities could be introduced.

To the processor panel, much like brain surgery you kinda need a signal in the first place in order to get a read on it's damages, hardware or software. A spark read can let you know if the body is alive and all the damages that IT can diagnose for a general check, but operating on an offline or barely awake processor can lead to issues that you may not even be aware of at the time of procedure. It's why a direct connection (with appropriate medical coding) is better for processor diagnosis as the hardware bypass might have a signal delay between patient and doctor.

And here's where the cortical psychic patch comes in.

When Megan was otherwise comatose, the cortical psychic patch was able to allow access into his processor that had been percolating with activity (one described by Knock Out to be like 'a dream he may never wake from'), and though far from being an actual medical use of the patch it did allow for a non-medical bot to access the processor of a very much comatose patient. It was even Ratchet himself - resident medic of the Autobots - that knew how to create the patch even if it was banned for Autobot use.

Keeping in this reverse order, perhaps a SG Shockwave had invented the cortical psychic patch for an intended medical use, a tool meant for mecha who may not have been forged nor coded to BE medics but have enough training to be such (typically self-taught in the early stages of revolution, then mentored by forged medics when the war really picked up speed) in order to allow direct access to the processor interface panel. The design of it would be - rather than a plug that just magnetically sticks on to the back of a cybertronian's head - would be a series of plugs and ports of mostly universal design, adjustable to a degree for multiple frames, allowing the medic irrespective of coding to have full access to diagnose what the fuck is up with the processor.

Unfortuneately for SG Shockers (and fully intentional by TFP Shockwave) the patch isn't quite as synonymous as the medic's coding is to processor interfacing, being rather invasive of a connection even as it is, let alone the patch being more of a hardware connection which in of itself introduces vulnerabilities. Heck, it's not even safe for the operator themselves to use the patch, seeing as how Bumblebee got a head full of Megan; I mean, Bumblebee isn't a trained medic, but the fact that it happened at all is evidence to it's flaws. And that's to a patient who isn't of mind enough to struggle, Shockwave himself says that resisting the patch may cause damage to the patient/subject, combine that with the second option of 'let it happen and let them walk unabated in your head' and you're pretty much shit out of luck.

The base Shockwave would most certainly be fully aware of the intent, a direct hardline to an individual's processor is most definitely a connection to some very vulnerable software and thus information, the cortical psychic patch probably battling a lot of firewalls off with the ease of a medical interface. And in the base TFP universe, Autobots with only recent war-based medical training as opposed to previous education probably early on DID resort to using the patch as a crutch, Ratchet after all knew how to make one. It's probably a combination of Shockwave's brutal interrogation method USING the cortical psychic patch and the relatively inexperienced Autobot medics opting to use direct processor interface rather than the comparably safer hardware bypass that lead to it's banned status in the Autobot ranks, too many 'Bots were having trauma responses at the hands of young medic's servo's who didn't know any better and actively resisting the patch, which just so happened to lead to more Autobot casualties and thus probably shellshocking the medics in training to get them to fear the daunting prospect of actually losing a patient by THEIR OWN hands.

It's one thing to be using a tool made by someone who has been known to do lots of dubious shit, it's another to see a tool that you made to help be manipulated into an interrogation technique, made all the worse now that you have significantly more emotional capacity to not only feel guilty but feel solely responsible for the patch induced trauma of your own allies; the cortical psychic patch was banned by the Shattered Glass Decepticons for about similar reasons, but it's near worse for a lot of medics (even the experienced ones) had been relying on it solely for the fact that they weren't forged with the coding. The stagnated use of the cortical psychic patch in the base verse was mostly because Shockwave himself had been the inventor of it and main user of the patch, the Autobots avoiding it's use for the ban and the Decepticons not very experienced with the tool. In Shattered Glass however, the only real limit to it's perpetuity would be if the Autobots managed to learn how to create the patch at all, which if even in the base verse Ratchet knew how to make one, probably means that there's more than enough patch use in SG even if Shockwave gets caught in a spacebridge explosion or not.

And that's that I think- funny to talk about interface panels in a transformers post without doing it in a sex way haha- I just want these guys to be alien 😫

Yeah!!! Fuck touch screens gimme dials and knobs and levers and switches and buttons! How am I supposed to caress a machine if it's simply a smooth surface?

we need more dials and knobs and levers again. this world is lacking in dials and knobs and levers. it's one of our biggest issues.

What Is the difference Between SCADA and HMI

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and HMI are both crucial elements in industrial automation, but they serve different roles. SCADA is a comprehensive system used to monitor, control, and analyze industrial processes across multiple locations. It integrates hardware and software to gather real-time data from sensors, devices, and PLCs, allowing operators to manage large-scale operations remotely. HMI (Human-Machine Interface) is a user interface, on the other hand, that links a human operator to the machinery or equipment. It displays process data visually—such as alarms, trends, and system status—enabling operators to interact directly with machines. While HMI is a component of SCADA systems, SCADA includes additional layers like data logging, communications infrastructure, and centralized control, making it more expansive and network-oriented than a standalone HMI.
