Through vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, autonomizing a vehicle platoon can significantly reduce the distance between vehicles, thereby reducing air resistance and improving road traffic efficiency. The gradual maturation of control technology is enabling platoons to achieve basic driving functions, permitting large-scale scheduling planning, which essential for industrialized applications generates significant economic benefits. Scheduling planning are required in many aspects operation; here, we outline advantages challenges number most important applications, including formation scheduling, lane-change passing light resource allocation. This paper's primary objective integrate current independent techniques into an integrated architecture meet demands applications. To this end, first summarize general then list scenarios technique application, finally discuss future development trends planning. We hope that paper encourage related researchers conduct more systematic research multiple technologies
