Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide a network control center that coordinates candidate vehicles suited for platooning based at least in part on the hours of service (HOS) requirements, customer constraints, and service time of each candidate vehicle. Further, the network control center may integrate a navigation system that incorporates one or more of the above factors to manage logistics associated with platooning vehicles.
