Abstract:
Cooperative platoon control strategies utilise provided information from vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication to reduce energy consumption and improve traffic flow and safety. In this chapter, a distributed control concept for cooperative platooning is developed that combines trajectory optimisation and local model-predictive control of each vehicle. The presented control architecture ensures collision safety by design, platoon efficiency and situational awareness with the option of exploiting V2X communication. The resulting platoon control performance is tested and validated in a realistic setting by utilising a co-simulation-based validation framework with detailed vehicle dynamics.
