Abstract
A computer implemented method of vehicle chain resource allocation includes establishing a vehicle chain network between a first motorized vehicle leading a vehicle chain and a second motorized vehicle following the first motorized vehicle in the vehicle chain. The method includes transmitting between the first and second motorized vehicles, via the vehicle chain network, a first drafting energy parameter from the first motorized vehicle and a second drafting energy parameter from the second motorized vehicle. And the method includes generating first energy credits based on the first and second drafting energy parameters and transmitting the first energy credits between the first and second motorized vehicle via the vehicle chain network.
