A Two-Dimensional Systems Stability Analysis of Vehicle Platoons
… In order to achieve tighter spacing between vehicles travelling one after the other in one direction, i. e. in a string or platoon, the driver is replaced by an automatic controller designed to keep a specified distance towards the preceding vehicle. It is shown how such a vehicle platoon can …

Emergency Braking in Compact Vehicle Platoons: A Cyber-Physical Design
… autonomous driving, concepts like road trains or platoons are becoming more popular. In these arrangements, vehicles travel at separations of only 5 to 10m between them. These short inter-vehicle distances allow compacting vehicle flows resulting in increased throughput on highways. In addition, …

Communication Protocol Design Considerations For Highway Vehicle Platoons And Enhanced Networked Robustness By Stochastic Dithers
<p>Highway platooning of vehicles has been identified as a promising framework in</p> <p>developing intelligent transportation systems. By autonomous or semi-autonomous</p> <p>vehicle control and inter-vehicle coordination, an appropriately managed platoon can</p> <p>potentially offer enhanced …

Disturbance Attenuation in Mass Chains with Passive Interconnection
… situations such as bidirectional control of vehicle platoons. It is shown that the scalar transfer functions from the disturbance to a given intermass displacement can be represented as a complex iterative map. This description is used to establish uniform boundedness of the …

Bi-stability in the Wakes of Platooning Ahmed Bodies
<p>Autonomous heavy vehicles will enable the promise of decreased energy consumption through the ability to platoon in closer formation than is currently safe or legal. It is therefore increasingly important to understand the complex and dynamic wake interactions between vehicles operating in close …

Behavioural adaption of drivers of unequipped vehicles to short time headways observed in a vehicle platoon
… (ADAS) are increasingly present within modern vehicles, supporting the introduction of semi- and fully-automated driving situations. As a consequence, a mixed traffic situation is likely to emerge where vehicles equipped with different degrees of automated systems will interact with unequipped …

Modeling Human And Machine-In-The-Loop In Car-Following Theory
… while modeling the longitudinal motion of the vehicles. In fact, a major drawback of existing car-following models is that the human-in-the-loop is not modeled explicitly. This is specifically important since the output from car-following models directly impacts several other factors and …

Resilient operations of smart highways : platooning, ramp metering, and incident management
… ongoing developments in connected and autonomous vehicle technology are poised to enable advanced capabilities such as platooning and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications. On one hand, these advancements offer new opportunities for improving the operational efficiency of highway systems. On …
