The presence of (partially) automated vehicles on the roads presents an opportunity to compensate the unstable behaviour of conventional vehicles. Vehicles subject to perturbations should (i) recover their equilibrium speed, (ii) react not…
Synchronization of chaos arises between coupled dynamical systems and is very well understood as a temporal phenomena which leads the coupled systems to converge or develop a dependence with time. In this work, we provide a complementary…

Recent advances in vehicle connectivity have allowed formation of autonomous vehicle platoons for improved mobility and traffic throughput. In order to avoid a pile-up in such platoons, it is important to ensure platoon (string) stability,…
