Stability Analysis of a Longitudinal Control Law for Autonomous Vehicles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We focus in this article on the analysis of an acceleration law for a following autonomous vehicle with constant time headway goal. We rst deene a function that measures the positioning of the following vehicle compared to the leading vehicle, w.r.t. the desired time headway. We study the convergence and limit of this positioning function, and prove the asymptotic stability of our acceleration control law under some initial conditions on the following vehicle and some invariant conditions on the leading vehicle. We then extend this result when the accelerations are saturated by the technology bounds, and we apply it to prove the platoon stability. Finally we conduct several simulations that validate our theoretical results and show the impact of the initial conditions.

Adaptive Robust Control for Trajectory Tracking of Autonomous underwater Vehicles on Horizontal Plane
This manuscript addresses trajectory tracking problem of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) on the horizontal plane. Adaptive sliding mode control is employed in order to achieve a robust behavior against some uncertainty and ocean current disturbances, assuming that disturbance and its derivative are bounded by unknown boundary levels. The proposed approach is based on a dual layer adaptive...

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 کاملInternal 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...
