  1. Safe Efficient TransportFollow-up to Jerome LuttenJuly 2013Contact: Josh Switkes, CEOJosh@Peloton-Tech.com

  2. Peloton TechnologyFounded 2011, Menlo Park CA Josh Switkes CEO Dave Lyons Product Steve Boyd Ext. Affairs Chris Gerdes Chief Scientist John Formisano Fmr. Fed Ex Ralph Eschenbach Fmr. Trimble Mark Platshon BMW, BP To dramatically improve highway safety and the efficiency of every mile traveled

  3. The Peloton Solution • Individual Truck Safety • Radar + Automatic braking • Close Formation Platooning • Well beyond cruise control • Fuel Savings from aerodynamics • Enhanced driver awareness -- video link • Platooning Network Operations Center • Coordination of linking opportunities • Trucks can only link when it is safe • Safe road • Safe traffic conditions • Safe weather • Safe driver

  4. Platooning Demonstrations SARTRE – EU (Sweden) 2009-Present ENERGY ITS – Japan 2009-12 KONVOI – Germany 2005-09 PIT – Canada 2009 PATH – US (Includes Nevada) ’90s and ongoing

  5. The Peloton System Third-Party Components • SAAS Managed Services • Truck Operation Analytics • Truck and Fleet Optimization • Driver Analytics • Safety/Near-Miss Statistics Radar Video Link Truck-Truck Link Peloton Controller Truck Interface User Interface Engine Torque BrakingSystem

  6. Enhancing Driver Performance Forward Collision Avoidance 12% Fuel Savings Full Road Visibility BlindSpot Display

  7. Technology Package Antennas Display, Camera Radar Unit Platooning Indicator System Control Module Acceleration Control Active Braking System Tractor-only Installation Commercially-proven components Robust vehicle control software

  8. Enhancing Driver Performance • Human drivers in command of both vehicles at all times • Human drivers steer both trucks at all times • System adjusts speed and applies braking to assist the drivers • Similar to adaptive cruise control • Level 1 Automation (by NHTSA defined levels of automation) • Vehicles back away and drivers resume full control: • When a driver chooses to end the linking • During system faults • When other vehicles interfere

  9. Safety Package • Forward Collision Avoidance • Radar-based avoidance: overcomes driver fatigue, weather • Weather and location based geofencing of operation • Driver real-time notification of hazards • Traffic conditions/accidents, Weather and Road conditions • Ultra-fast reaction by trailing truck: Far better than an alert driver • Smart ordering of trucks: Requires front positioning for heavier truck with longest stopping distance • Driver monitoring: Detect lane drift • Remote linking approval based on truck, traffic, road, driver • Driver awareness enhancement: Blind spot display, full road visibility

  10. System Benefits • Safety • Peloton safety systems are always on even when trucks are not platooned • Linking only enabled on appropriate stretches of highway • NHTSA: Crash-avoidance systems can save $3.1B, reduce fatalities 44% Article: http://goo.gl/8SezR • Truck crashes in 2011 caused over 3700 fatalities • Fleets alone face crash costs of over $48B/year; national costs even higher • Fuel efficiency: 10+% savings • US Class 8 trucks use approx. 25B gal of diesel/year • Dramatic Economic, Health and Environmentalbenefits of fuel savings • Reducing congestion and new infrastructure requirements • Accident prevention reduces congestion • Reduce fuel wasted from congestion • Fewer new lanes/roads required • Requires no new infrastructure
