A Connected Vehicle Platoon Control Model for Time-Varying Communication Topology based on Model Predictive Control (MPC)

Vehicle platoon control technology is an important application of connected vehicles. This paper presents a vehicle platoon control model based on model predictive control, which mainly includes the vehicle platoon control method under different initial states and the switching method of typical information flow topology (ITF) for platoons under abnormal communication conditions. Through the simulation test results, the effectiveness of this method in various driving modes for time-varying communication topology is verified. Finally, the authors conclude that the control model can guarantee the safety and stability for vehicle platoons in the case of abnormal communication.
