Abstract:
Various applications for use of mass estimations of a vehicle, including to control operation of the vehicle, sharing the mass estimation with other vehicles and/or a Network Operations Center (NOC), organizing vehicles operating in a platoon and/or partially controlling the operation of one or more vehicles operating in a platoon based on the relative mass estimations between the platooning vehicles. When vehicles are operating in a platoon, the relative mass between a lead and a following vehicle may be used to scale torque and/or brake commands generated by the lead vehicle and sent to the following vehicle.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 4 , wherein the mass estimation of the first vehicle is shared with the second vehicle so that the second vehicle can scale commands received from the first vehicle while leading the platoon, the scaling of the commands based at least partially on a relative difference between the mass estimation of the two vehicles.
