Scalability in heterogeneous vehicle platoons
2007 American Control Conference, 2007It is known that vehicle platoons exhibit string instability when each vehicle tries to maintain a fixed distance from its predecessor. This can be avoided if sufficiently strong coupling with the leader is employed. If instead each vehicle tracks the average distance form its neighbours, the interconnection can still be ill-conditioned in the sense ...

Distributed Vehicular Platoon Control with Heterogeneous Communication Delays
2020 Chinese Control And Decision Conference (CCDC), 2020Due to its capability of improving fuel economy and traffic efficiency, platooning has become a hot research topic in recent years. Yet platoon internal stability under heterogeneous communication delays is still not fully discussed. This paper proposes an LMI based robust control algorithm for vehicular platoons with generic communication topologies ...

Heterogeneous Vehicular Platooning with Stable Decentralized Linear Feedback Control
2021 IEEE International Conference on Autonomous Systems (ICAS), 2021Platooning which is defined as controlling a group of autonomous vehicles (multiple followers and one leader) to have a desired distance between them while following a desired trajectory has caught on recently in the control engineering discipline.

Adaptive Robust Control for a Heterogeneous Vehicular Platoon
2019 Chinese Automation Congress (CAC), 2019This paper presents an adaptive robust control approach for heterogeneous vehicular platoons subject to nonlinear and (possibly fast) time-varying uncertainty. The uncertainty is unknown and bounded. The vehicles in the platoon are modeled as nonlinear uncertain dynamic systems.

Identification of platoon dispersion pattern under heterogeneous traffic conditions
Case Studies on Transport Policy, 2020Abstract Vehicles released from the traffic signal travel along the arterial in platoons. These tend to disburse as they proceed through the corridor. The present study uses various measures which quantify speed variability to determine regions where initial dispersion and higher dispersion occur on signalized urban arterials under heterogeneous ...

Characterization of Platoon Dispersion Variables under Heterogeneous Traffic
International Conference on Transportation and Development 2016, 2016Traffic flow on urban arterial streets controlled by traffic signals, create platoons at the exit, which tend to disperse as they progress along the arterial. The platoon characterizing variables such as platoon size, intra-platoon headway, inter-platoon headway, and platoon speed have been studied extensively under homogeneous traffic conditions, but ...

Modeling Platoon Dispersal Pattern of Heterogeneous Road Traffic
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2003The quality of progression of a road traffic stream is one of the critical characteristics that must be quantified for operational analysis of traffic signals, particularly on urban roads. The parameter that has been found to best describe this characteristic of traffic streams is the arrival type.

String Stable Heterogeneous Vehicle Platoon Using Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control
2015 IEEE 18th International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2015In this paper, a heterogeneous vehicle platoon equipped with Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) systems is studied. First, various causes of heterogeneity are reviewed. A selection of parameters is made, for which string stability is analyzed. The influence of controller parameters and headway time on string stability is studied.

Towards Heterogeneous Communication Strategies for Urban Platooning at Intersections
2019 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC), 2019Platooning promises to solve worldwide traffic problems by using wireless communication for tight control of convoys of vehicles to reduce their inter-vehicle gaps. To date, however, most research on platooning has focused on freeway scenarios. In this paper, we provide a realistic exploration of platooning in urban environments: We consider traffic ...
