String Stability Analysis of Adaptive Cruise Controlled Vehicles
نویسندگان
چکیده
A framework for string-stability analysis is formulated in this paper. First, uniform string will be analyzed. We will then present analysis results on strings of mixed vehicles. A String-Stability Margin (SSM) index is defined in this paper to give a quantitative measurement of any ACC design. Simulation results using MATLAB and a microscopic traffic simulator will also be given to demonstrate the effectiveness of ACC systems on traffic smoothness.

Evaluating the Influences of Adaptive Cruise Control Systems on the Longitudinal Dynamics of Strings of Highway Vehicles
This paper presents experimental results, analytical findings, and simulation evaluations pertaining to the longitudinal dynamics and headway performance of strings of vehicles with and without adaptive cruise control (ACC) systems. It focuses on the amplification of speed disturbances along a string of vehicles, i.e., the stability of string behavior. The work describes measurement, analysis, ...
متن کاملIntelligent Cruise Control Systems and Traffic Flow Stability
In analogy to the ow of uids, it is expected that the aggregate density and the velocity of vehicles in a section of a freeway adequately describe the tra c ow dynamics. The conservation of mass equation together with the aggregation of the vehicle following dynamics of controlled vehicles describes the evolution of the tra c density and the aggregate speed of a tra c ow. There are two kinds of...
متن کاملMacroscopic Traffic Flow Propagation Stability for Adaptive Cruise Controlled Vehicles
Traffic flow propagation stability is concerned about whether a traffic flow perturbation will propagate and form a traffic shockwave. In this paper, we discuss a general approach to the macroscopic traffic flow propagation stability for adaptive cruise controlled (ACC) vehicles. We present a macroscopic model with velocity saturation for traffic flow in which each individual vehicle is control...
متن کاملA new virtual leader-following consensus protocol to internal and string stability analysis of longitudinal platoon of vehicles with generic network topology under communication and parasitic delays
In this paper, a new virtual leader following consensus protocol is introduced to perform the internal and string stability analysis of longitudinal platoon of vehicles under generic network topology. In all previous studies on multi-agent systems with generic network topology, the control parameters are strictly dependent on eigenvalues of network matrices (adjacency or Laplacian). Since some ...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control Bachelor Thesis in Mechatronic Engineering
With limited road infrastructure and increasing number of vehicles on the road, an intelligent transport system is needed to increase the throughput in traffic and minimize traffic jams in highly populated areas. The purpose of this project is to design and implement a control system that is capable of driving and following the preceding vehicle autonomously in the longitude direction only. The...
