Platoon services are being driven by the development of Internet of things, prompting changes in existing businesses and the generation of new businesses. In this paper, a business model and business model canvas related to platoon services are proposed, and the cost analysis of heavy freight transport platoon services from the perspective of platoon leaders and followers is conducted. In addition, the fuel consumption saving brought about by platoon services in freight transport of 28 European Union countries is estimated. The results indicate that the providers of the autonomous driving package, Internet of things devices and the platoon service platform are new stakeholders in the business model. The business model canvas shows the value propositions of platoon services, such as increased traffic efficiency, decreased energy consumption, and the opportunity of involvement in other activities. In addition, the analysis of cost structures for platoon leaders and followers shows that the autonomous driving package has the highest percentage of cost in the first year of a vehicle’s lifespan and decreases rapidly in the years that follow. The platoon services ease the financial burden of the leaders due to decreased fuel consumption and income from the leading service, with the highest value up to 4.7%. As for the fuel consumption reductions benefited from platoon services, Germany may have the largest potential of national annual fuel saving, followed by France, Spain and the United Kingdom, while the countries that may benefit the most from fuel savings in international freight transport are Poland and Spain.

物联网辅助的自动排车商业模式及成本分析

队列服务受到物联网发展的推动，促使现有业务发生变化并产生新业务。本文提出了与排服务相关的商业模式和商业模式画布，从排长和跟随者的角度对重型货物运输排服务进行成本分析。此外，预计在欧盟28个国家的货物运输中，队列服务所带来的燃料消耗节省。结果表明，自动驾驶包、物联网设备和排服务平台的提供者是商业模式中新的利益相关者。商业模式画布展示了队列服务的价值主张，例如提高交通效率、降低能源消耗、以及参与其他活动的机会。此外，对排长和跟随者成本结构的分析表明，自动驾驶包在车辆生命周期的第一年成本百分比最高，随后几年迅速下降。排服务减轻了领导者的经济负担，减少了领导服务的燃料消耗和收入，最高值高达4.7%。至于受益于排行服务的油耗降低，德国可能是全国年度节油潜力最大的国家，其次是法国、西班牙和英国，而可能从国际货运节油中受益最大的国家是波兰和西班牙。排长和跟随者的成本结构分析表明，自动驾驶包在车辆生命周期的第一年成本百分比最高，并在随后几年迅速下降。排服务减轻了领导者的经济负担，减少了领导服务的燃料消耗和收入，最高值高达4.7%。至于受益于排行服务的油耗降低，德国可能是全国年度节油潜力最大的国家，其次是法国、西班牙和英国，而可能从国际货运节油中受益最大的国家是波兰和西班牙。排长和跟随者的成本结构分析表明，自动驾驶包在车辆生命周期的第一年成本百分比最高，并在随后几年迅速下降。排服务减轻了领导者的经济负担，因为减少了燃料消耗和领先服务的收入，最高值高达4.7%。至于受益于排行服务的油耗降低，德国可能是全国年度节油潜力最大的国家，其次是法国、西班牙和英国，而可能从国际货运节油中受益最大的国家是波兰和西班牙。
