A system to control a vehicle platoon that comprises at least one lead vehicle and one additional vehicle, wherein the vehicles in the vehicle platoon are driven with short distance between each other such that the air resistance between each vehicle comprised in the vehicle platoon is reduced so that lower fuel consumption is obtained, and wherein each vehicle in the vehicle platoon has a positioning unit and a unit for wireless communication, wherein the system comprises: - a driving profile unit that is configured to determine a driving profile for at least one vehicle f k in the vehicle platoon, wherein the driving profile contains target values b i and associated positions p i for the vehicle f k at positions along a road horizon of the road ahead; characterised in that the system further comprises: - an analysis unit that is configured to: - determine a common position-based driving strategy for the vehicles in the vehicle platoon, based on at least the driving profile for the vehicle f k ; - generate a driving strategy signal that indicates the common position-based driving strategy, and - transmit the driving strategy signal to all vehicles in the vehicle platoon, after which the vehicles in the vehicle platoon are controlled according to the common position-based driving strategy, wherein the said target values are applied to each one of the vehicles at each position (p i ) that is associated with a target value (bi), wherein position based driving strategy means that if the first vehicle in the vehicle platoon changes its speed at a certain position X in a bend, the second vehicle does not carry this out at the same time, but carries it out instead at exactly the same point X at which the first vehicle carried out the change. - a driving profile unit that is configured to determine a driving profile for at least one vehicle f k in the vehicle platoon, wherein the driving profile contains target values b i and associated positions p i for the vehicle f k at positions along a road horizon of the road ahead; - an analysis unit that is configured to: - determine a common position-based driving strategy for the vehicles in the vehicle platoon, based on at least the driving profile for the vehicle f k ; - generate a driving strategy signal that indicates the common position-based driving strategy, and - transmit the driving strategy signal to all vehicles in the vehicle platoon, after which the vehicles in the vehicle platoon are controlled according to the common position-based driving strategy, wherein the said target values are applied to each one of the vehicles at each position (p i ) that is associated with a target value (bi), wherein position based driving strategy means that if the first vehicle in the vehicle platoon changes its speed at a certain position X in a bend, the second vehicle does not carry this out at the same time, but carries it out instead at exactly the same point X at which the first vehicle carried out the change. - determine a common position-based driving strategy for the vehicles in the vehicle platoon, based on at least the driving profile for the vehicle f k ; - generate a driving strategy signal that indicates the common position-based driving strategy, and - transmit the driving strategy signal to all vehicles in the vehicle platoon, after which the vehicles in the vehicle platoon are controlled according to the common position-based driving strategy, wherein the said target values are applied to each one of the vehicles at each position (p i ) that is associated with a target value (bi), wherein position based driving strategy means that if the first vehicle in the vehicle platoon changes its speed at a certain position X in a bend, the second vehicle does not carry this out at the same time, but carries it out instead at exactly the same point X at which the first vehicle carried out the change. <EOS>
