A conceptualization of vehicle platoons and platoon operations

Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies, 2017
Vehicle platooning, a coordinated movement strategy, has been proposed to address a range of current transport challenges such as traffic congestion, road safety, energy consumption and pollution. But in order to form platoons in an ad-hoc manner the vehicles have to ‘speak the same language’, which is in current practice limited to vehicles of ...

Secure Management of Autonomous Vehicle Platooning

Proceedings of the 14th ACM International Symposium on QoS and Security for Wireless and Mobile Networks, 2018
Platooning is an emerging Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) application that can have a huge impact on road traffic. It allows vehicles to travel in a convoy manner, very close to each other with constant speeds and gaps.It uses Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) as the underlying communication framework.

Vehicle-to-vehicle communication for AVCS platooning

Proceedings of IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC), 2002
Vehicle-to-vehicle radio links suffer from power variations, multipath fading and associated Doppler spreading in frequency, as well as interference from other vehicles. These effects are investigated in the context of an automated vehicle control systems (AVCS) employing vehicle platoons.

Vehicle-to-vehicle communications for AVCS platooning

IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, 1997
Vehicle-to-vehicle radio links suffer from multipath fading and interference from other vehicles. We discuss the impact of these effects on communication networks supporting an intelligent transportation system (ITS), in particular, automated vehicle control systems (AVCSs). A statistical model for this channel is considered, and the performance of the

Securing Vehicular Platooning against Vehicle Platooning Disruption (VPD) Attacks

2019 8th International Conference on Performance Evaluation and Modeling in Wired and Wireless Networks (PEMWN), 2019
The traffic problems related to bottlenecks, accidents and delays on the road intersections create a significant need for the application of platoon mechanism. In this context, we consider a scenario when a platoon of negotiating vehicles approaches the intersection.

Platoons of underwater vehicles

IEEE Control Systems, 2000
We have presented a decentralized control design methodology for regulating global functions of cooperating mobile systems. The application of relatively standard system-theoretic tools, leads to a novel broadcast-only communication structure. The feedback mechanism between vehicles is the measurement of the global variables and broadcast of their ...

Quick and Autonomous Platoon Maintenance in Vehicle Dynamics For Distributed Vehicle Platoon Networks

Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Internet-of-Things Design and Implementation, 2017
Platoon systems, as a type of adaptive cruise control systems, will play a significant role to improve travel experience and roadway safety. The stability of a platoon system is crucial so that each vehicle maintains a safety distance from its proceeding vehicle and can take necessary actions to avoid collisions.

Scalability in heterogeneous vehicle platoons

2007 American Control Conference, 2007
It 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 ...

Platooning Rear Vehicle Control Using Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication

SAE Technical Paper Series, 2001
<div class="htmlview paragraph">A new concept for communication for platooning of leader-follower vehicles is presented. The leader vehicle is equipped by a omni directional camera and laser radar. The omni directional camera can capture a omni directional views and the view information is used to autonomously control the leader vehicle.
