PRACTICAL STRING STABILITY FOR LONGITUDINAL CONTROL OF AUTOMATED VEHICLES

This paper considers string stability for vehicle longitudinal control from a practical implementation viewpoint. A different parameterization is used compared to previous work. Two following strategies are considered, i.e. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and vehicle platooning with inter-vehicle communication. A simplified model and transfer function are used for analysis. It shows that ACC cannot achieve string stability while platooning with communication can achieve it, which agrees with practical test. For the covering abstract see ITRD E122482.
