VEHICLE APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING PLATOON TRAVEL AND METHOD FOR SELECTING LEAD VEHICLE

摘要

A vehicle apparatus, a platoon travel control system and a method for selecting a lead vehicle using the vehicle apparatus and the platoon travel control system. Specifically, charges for platoon travel of surrounding vehicles is calculated based on input charge calculation conditions and the calculated charges are output by matching the conditions with images of surrounding vehicles. Additionally, a vehicle selected by the user is designated as a lead vehicle, thereby performing a platoon travel procedure.
