The use of macroscopic information for the control of a vehicular platoon composed of autonomous vehicles is investigated. A mesoscopic control law is provided, and String Stability is proved by Lyapunov functions and Input-to-State Stability (ISS) concepts. Simulations are implemented in order to validate the controller and to show the efficacy of the proposed approach for mitigating traffic oscillations.
