3
Arterial TMC identifies queue of vehicles as a potential platoon
4
CACC application provides platoon assignments to vehicles
5
Throttle, brakes, and (optionally) steering for vehicles is now semi-autonomous; when signal turns green, all vehicles accelerate simultaneously; on-board CACC applications coordinate speed and headway adjustments
