This paper presents a control design with integral action for vehicle platoons with disturbance that ensures string stability of the closed loop and disturbance rejection. The addition of integral action and a coordinate change allows to…

A novel delay-based spacing policy for the control of vehicle platoons is introduced together with a notion of disturbance string stability. The delay-based spacing policy specifies the desired inter-vehicular distance between vehicles and…

We investigate the possibility to use macroscopic information to improve control performance of a vehicular platoon composed of autonomous vehicles. A general mesoscopic traffic modeling is described, and a closed loop String Stability…

This paper is about obtaining stable vehicle platooning by using Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control when the communication is unreliable and suffers from message losses. We model communication losses as independent random events and we…

This paper deals with the problem of string stability in a chain of acceleration-controlled vehicles. It is known that string stability cannot be achieved, with any linear controller, when the vehicles' control inputs are based on relative…

In this paper, we consider the problem of platooning control with mismatched disturbances using the distributed adaptive backstepping method. The main challenges are: (1) maintaining the compositionality and the distributed nature of the…

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…

This paper addresses the problem of longitudinal platooning control of homogeneous vehicles subject to external disturbances, such as wind gusts, road slopes, and parametric uncertainties. Our control objective is to maintain the relative…

This paper deals with the problem of string stability of interconnected systems with double-integrator open loop dynamics (e.g.~acceleration-controlled vehicles). We analyze an asymmetric bidirectional linear controller, where each vehicle…

This paper addresses the string stabilization of vehicular platooning when stochastic phenomena are inherent in inter-vehicle communication. To achieve this, we first provide two definitions to analytically assess the string stability in…

Vehicle platooning has the potential to significantly improve traffic throughput and reduce fuel consumption and emissions and thus has attracted extensive attention recently. In this study, we propose a hybrid vehicle platoon system for…

This paper is concerned with the study of bidirectionally coupled platoon systems. The case considered is when the vehicles are heterogeneous and the coupling can be nonlinear and asymmetric. For such systems, a sufficient condition for…

Autonomous vehicle following systems are playing a decisive role to increase vehicle density on roads by shortening inter-vehicle time gaps. However, disturbance attenuation along a platoon of vehicles, i.e., string stability, is being a…

Network systems and their control are highly important and appear in a variety of applications, including vehicle platooning and formation con- trol. Especially vehicle platoons are highly investigated and an interesting problem that arises…

In this paper, we study the internal stability and string stability of a vehicle platoon under the constant time headway spacing (CTHS) policy and the multiple-predecessor-following (MPF) vehicle-to-vehicle information flow topology. More…

Groups of aircraft have the potential to save significant amounts of energy by flying in formations; all but the leading aircraft can benefit from the upwash of the wakes of preceding aircraft. A potential obstacle as the number of aircraft…

In the control of vehicular platoons, the disturbances acting on one vehicle can propagate and affect other vehicles. If the disturbances do not amplify along the vehicular string, then it is called string stable. However, it is usually…

We study decentralized control strategies for platoons of autonomous vehicles with heterogeneous and nonlinear dynamics. Based on ideas from funnel control, we present a novel decentralized control algorithm which is able to guarantee a…

This paper deals with the problem of string stability in a chain of acceleration-controlled vehicles, i.e. how input disturbances affect the distributed system for very long chains. There exist variants of string stability, like avoiding…

We provide experimental validation, in a pair of vehicles, of a recently introduced predictor-based cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) design, developed for achieving delay compensation in heterogeneous vehicular platoons subject to…
