Abstract: The systems and methods described herein disclose vehicle positioning and benefit distribution in a vehicle platoon. As described here, vehicles are organized in the platoon based on maximum benefit to the platoon as a whole. The systems and methods then determine the difference in benefit received between each platoon member and equalize between members. The systems and methods can include determining cumulative travel benefits for a group of vehicles. A platoon organization can then be created to achieve the cumulative travel benefits. A platoon can then be created using the platoon organization. The benefit distribution of the platoon can then be determined. Then, the actualized benefits can be apportioned to the one or more platoon members based on the benefit distribution.
