Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method and a server for platooning. The method provides: obtaining, based on a platooning request message, a first vehicle type and first kinematic information of a vehicle to join a platoon, a second vehicle type and second kinematic information of a current tail of the platoon, first sensor operating status information of the vehicle to join the platoon, and second sensor operating status information of the current tail vehicle; performing vehicle kinematic determination to obtain a kinematic determination result; performing sensor determination to obtain a sensor determination result; transmitting a confirmation request message to a vehicle of the platoon when the determination results are both successful; and controlling, upon receiving a request approval message, the vehicle to join the platoon to establish a V2V communication connection with each vehicle in the platoon. The method can achieve platoon without any road side unit.
