Abstract
A method, an optimization controller, and combustion engine are disclosed. The method includes determining, by an optimization controller, values of a performance parameter of a target vehicle using characteristics of at least two platoons travelling on a roadway, each of the values corresponding to a platoon of the at least two platoons; selecting, by the optimization controller, one of the at least two platoons based on a comparison of the values of the performance parameter, and coordinating, by the optimization controller, for the target vehicle to join the selected of the at least two platoons.
