Expander Families as Information Patterns for Distributed Control of Vehicle Platoons ⋆
نویسندگان
چکیده
A state space formulation of the distributed control of a 1-D vehicle platoon is considered. The objective is to understand the effects of the underlying information exchange pattern between the vehicles on the control performance of the platoon. The symmetric control case is considered where each vehicle gives equal weight to all the information available to it in determining its control law. It is shown that expander families of graphs when used as information patterns result in stability margins decaying to zero at rate at most O(1/N); an improvement over the previously known O(1/N) decay with nearest neighbor type information patterns.

The objectives of this effort are to develop: (1) control synthesis methods for control algorithms that can be distributed among a platoon of UUVs with minimal inter-vehicle communication requirements, (2) centralized control algorithms that are easily synthesized, generate multi-objective behaviors for a platoon of vehicles, and may potentially be distributed among a platoon of UUVs, (3) decen...
متن کاملImpact of Communication Erasure Channels on Safety of Highway Vehicle Platoons
Packet loss in block erasure channels creates a randomly switching networked system that impacts control performance significantly. This paper employs safety of highway vehicle platoons as a platform to study such an impact. By autonomous inter-vehicle coordination, a platoon can potentially enhance safety, improve highway utility, increase fuel economy, and reduce emission. By comparing differ...
متن کاملWave-absorbing vehicular platoon controller
The paper tailors the so-called wave-based control popular in the field of flexible mechanical structures to the field of distributed control of vehicular platoons. The proposed solution augments the symmetric bidirectional control algorithm with a wave-absorbing controller implemented on the leader, and/or on the rear-end vehicle. The wave-absorbing controller actively absorbs an incoming wave...
