Summary/Abstract: In this paper is presented platooning as a promising approach to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions, fuel consumption, and operation costs in heavy traffic. Attention is given to a risk assessment of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication in the context of ISO 26262, Edition 2: Road vehicles - Functional safety. [ISO 26262-2 2018] The analysis focuses on safety-related hazards associated with convoy driving of heavy vehicles, utilizing the principles of functional safety. It applies hazard analysis and risk assessment (HARA) to classify potential risks according to their severity, exposure, and controllability. Automotive safety integrity level (ASIL) is later determined for each risk. The results provide the ASIL levels of identified hazards, which can be used for developing and validating functional safety measures for cooperative truck driving.
