Platooning of cars or trucks is one of the most relevant applications of autonomous driving, since it has the potential to greatly improve efficiency in road utilization and fuel consumption. Traditional proposals of vehicle platoon- ing were based on distributed architectures with computation on board platoon vehicles and direct vehicle-to-vehicle ...

Lateral Control of Vehicle Platoons [PDF]
Vehicle platoons are fully automated vehicles driving in close proximity of each other, where both distance keeping and steering is under automatic control. This paper is aiming at a variant of vehicle platoons, where the lateral control is using forward looking sensors, i.e. camera, radar.

Performance limitations in vehicle platoon control [PDF]
One of the major benefits of driving vehicles in controlled, close formations such as platoons is that of reduced air drag. However, this will set hard performance requirements on the system actuators, sensors and controllers of each vehicle. This paper analyzes the effects of fundamental limitations on the longitudinal and lateral control performance ...

Optimal Control for Platooning in Vehicular Networks
As the automotive industry is developing autonomous driving systems and vehicular networks, attention to truck platooning has increased as a way to reduce costs (fuel consumption) and improve efficiency in the highway. Recent research in this area has focused mainly on the aerodynamics, network stability, and longitudinal control of platoons.

Performance Analysis of Embedded Platoon Controllers [PDF]
Vehicle platooning is a technology capable of reducing the distance between vehicles, which in turn increases the road capacity and reduces the fuel consumption. In vehicle platooning, vehicles exchange information through wireless Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication.

Vehicles in the platoon can sufficiently incorporate the information via V2X communication to plan ecological speed trajectories and pass the intersection smoothly. Most existing eco‐driving studies mainly focus on the optimal control of a single vehicle

Vehicle platoons through ring coupling [PDF]
In this paper, a novel strategy for the control of a string of vehicles is designed. The vehicles are coupled in a unidirectional ring at the interaction level: each vehicle is influenced by the position of its immediate forward neighbor; the first ...

AbstractCooperative platoon control strategies utilise provided information from vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication to reduce energy consumption and improve traffic flow and safety. In this chapter, a distributed control concept for cooperative platooning is developed that combines trajectory optimisation and local model-predictive control of ...

Nonlinear adaptive cruise control of vehicular platoons [PDF]
The paper deals with the design of nonlinear adaptive cruise controllers for vehicular platoons operating on an open road or a ring-road. The constructed feedback controllers are nonlinear functions of the distance between successive vehicles and their speeds.
