The concept of vehicle platooning is not new. In fact, scientificarticles on platooning were published as early as the 1970s, and the first large-scale pilottest on platooning was carried out at the end of the 1990s. The main purpose of these earlyresearch works was to improve traffic efficiency and reduce consumptions, as well as todevelop the existing technology.These contributions were very valuable, although somehow limited by the relevanttechnology still being in its infancy. Precisely, the development of technology andcommunications in the last years has given new impetus to research on vehicle platooningon freeways as one of the possible forms of cooperation among connected automatedvehicles (CAVs). The point of view of these recent studies has also been extended: inaddition to traffic efficiency, the role of platooning is analyzed in terms of safety,sustainability, business productivity, etc.In this context, there are today many scientific publications on vehicle platooning withdifferent purposes, set in distinct scenarios and based on diverse vehicles and technologies(regular or segregated lanes, cars or trucks, vehicles with different SAE levels, etc.).In order to organize and consolidate the existing knowledge, a comprehensive andsystematic review must be performed.This work represents a first approximation to this more ambitious objective. Firstly,platooning has been conceptualized in order to facilitate its analysis and comparisonsamong studies. Secondly, key publications on platooning have been analyzed to determinethe most significant impacts expected from its implementation.Finally, some important research gaps and disparate findings on the topic have beenidentified.
