Longitudinal Adaptive Control of a Platoon of Vehicles - American Control Conference, 1999. Proceedings of the 1999

چکیده
A technique for the longitudinal control of a platoon of automated vehicles is presented. A nonlinear model is used to represent the vehicle dynamics of each vehicle within the platoon. The controlled vehicle is assumed to be capable of measuring (or estimating) necessary dynamical information from the vehicle immediately in front of it by its on-board sensors. The computer in the vehicle processes the measured data and generates proper throttling and braking actions to follow the vehicle in front at a safe distance. Simulations are presented for the case of a platoon of four cars following a leader.

Internal and string stability analyses of longitudinal platoon of vehicles with communication delay and actuator lag under constant spacing policy
This paper studies the longitudinal control of a group of vehicles following a lead vehicle. A neighbor based upper level controller is proposed by considering communication delay and actuator lag. Constant spacing policy is used between successive vehicles. Two different approaches based on Lyapunov-Razumikhin and Lyapuniv-Krassovski theorems are presented to stability analysis...
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 ...

In order to improve the safety and longitudinal stability of a vehicle equipped with standard ABS system, this paper, analyzes the basic principles of vehicles stability and proposes a control strategy based on fuzzy adaptive control which will adjust PID gain parameters, using genetic algorithm. A linear three-degree-of-freedom (DOF) vehicle model was set up in Simulink and the stability test ...
متن کاملLongitudinal Control of a Platoon of Road Vehicles Equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control System
Automotive vehicle following systems are essential for the design of automated highway system. The problem associated with the automatic vehicle following system is the string stability of the platoon of vehicles, i.e. the problem of uniform velocity and spacing errors propagation. Different control algorithm for the longitudinal control of a platoon are discussed based on different spacing pol...
متن کاملThird-order Decentralized Safe Consensus Protocol for Inter-connected Heterogeneous Vehicular Platoons
In this paper, the stability analysis and control design of heterogeneous traffic flow is considered. It is assumed that the traffic flow consists of infinite number of cooperative non-identical vehicular platoons. Two different networks are investigated in stability analysis of heterogeneous traffic flow: 1) inter-platoon network which deals with the communication topology of lead vehicles and...
