Optimization data on total cost of ownership for conventional and battery electric heavy vehicles driven by humans and by automated driving systems.

ABSTRACT: In road freight transport, the emerging technologies such as automated driving systems improve the mobility, productivity and fuel efficiency. However, the improved efficiency is not enough to meet environmental goals due to growing demands of transportation. Combining automated driving systems and electrified propulsion can substantially improve the road freight transport efficiency. However, the high cost of the battery electric heavy vehicles is a barrier hindering their adoption by the transportation companies. Automated driving systems, requiring no human driver on-board, make the battery electric heavy vehicles competitive to their conventional counterparts in a wider range of transportation tasks and use cases compared to the vehicles with human drivers. The presented data identify
