Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control of Heterogeneous Vehicle Platoons

The Effects of Packet Loss on the String Stability of Platoons using Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control

In the near future, the use of Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control could contribute to solving the traffic congestion problems experienced in daily life by enabling vehicles to form a platoon, driving with a small distance from each other. This distance should be as short as possible, to optimise throughput on the road. If the distance is too short, however, unexpected actions can cause a traff...

Direct adaptive longitudinal control of vehicle platoons

An important aspect of an automated highway system design is the synthesis of an automatic vehicle following system. Associated with automatic vehicle following systems is the problem of the stability of a string of vehicles, i.e., the problem of spacing error propagation, and in some cases, amplification upstream from one vehicle to another, due to some disturbance at the head of the string. R...

Vehicle Trajectory Impacts of Adaptive Cruise Control

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is assumed to have a potential to improve quality-of-service and safety and to reduce the environmental impact of the road traffic system. This paper use vehicle trajectories from traffic simulation to study impacts of ACC on vehicle acceleration and deceleration rates. The analysis is based on traffic simulations with car-following models including ACC functionali...
