A strategy for controlling autonomous robot platoons

Proceedings of the 39th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat. No.00CH37187), 2002
Development of decentralized control systems for platoons of robotic vehicles often requires direct communication between vehicles. Using basic tools from the field of decentralized control, we develop a framework from which existence of vehicle controllers can be assessed for a given communication structure.

Decentralized overlapping control of a platoon of vehicles

IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2000
A methodology is proposed for longitudinal control design of platoons of automotive vehicles within intelligent vehicle/highway systems (IVHSs). The proposed decentralized overlapping control law is obtained by using the inclusion principle, i.e., by decomposing the original system model by an appropriate input/state expansion, and by applying the ...

Platoon control with communication network constraints

2015 International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE), 2015
This paper investigates the communication effect of the platoon control system, such as communication delays, packet dropouts and disorders. Here, the communication delays and packet dropouts problems are merged into the random distributed input delays problem.

Kinematic Control of Platoons of Autonomous Vehicles

IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2006
In this paper, an approach to control the motion of a platoon of autonomous vehicles is presented. The proposed technique is based on the definition of suitable task functions that are handled in the framework of singularity-robust task-priority inverse kinematics.

On avoiding saturation in the control of vehicular platoons

Proceedings of the 2004 American Control Conference, 2004
We investigate some fundamental limitations and tradeoffs in the control of vehicular platoons. These systems are of considerable practical importance as they represent an example of systems on lattices in which different units are dynamically coupled only through feedback controls.

Platoon-stable adaptive controller design

2004 43rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC) (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37601), 2004
In this paper, adaptive control is presented for a platoon of vehicles in the presence of parameter uncertainties. A constant time headway policy is employed for a platoon stable control design based on feedback linearization. Using Lyapunov synthesis, the developed adaptive controller guarantees the boundedness of spacing errors in the platoon.

Control Design for Generalized Platoon Problems

at - Automatisierungstechnik, 2011
Abstract This paper presents a generalized description of linear transport processes that allows for a derivation of common dynamic properties and a control layout for a wide set of applications. Based on the introduction of the system description of platoons and a proposition of suitable performance criteria a control layout is ...

A platooning controller robust to vehicular faults

ICARCV 2004 8th Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision Conference, 2004., 2005
This paper presents a platooning controller for a four-wheel-driving four-wheel-steering vehicle to follow another. The controller is based on the full-state tracking theory and utilizes a vehicular model that makes it able to continue to operate when faults are detected at its steering systems or driving motors which are disabled accordingly.

Speed Control for Autonomous Vehicular in Platoon

2021
As promising applications, AV require road security which could be achieved by controlling the speed of each vehicle. The adaptive control is used for this goal, however, it can cause a speed exceeding and it is not stable for disturbances. To resolve these issues, we propose a speed management application by combining the predictive control and ...
