27 Performance evaluation: numerical experiment on European route E4 Tornio Helsingborg Figure : European Route E4. The European route E4 passes through 22 cities of Sweden with a total length of 1590km. There are two on-ramps and off-ramps from/to each of the 22 cities, the speed limit for on- /off-ramp is 60km/h. Since HDV is restricted to drive on the truck lane at the rightmost, the platoon has to decelerate to 60km/h in the ramp area and accelerate to desired speed 90km/h afterwards. 26 / 30
