Kinematic Design for Platoon-Lane-Change Maneuvers

In this paper researchers provide design architecture for automated highway systems (AHS) formation control in terms of lane-change maneuvering for platoon lane changing (PLC) rather than a single vehicle control. The proposed PLC control uses both coordinated and non-coordinated platooning infrastructures with two different maneuvering types being proposed: leader PLC maneuvers and predecessor PLC maneuvers. These two types correspond to situations where the intervehicular spacing is either greater or less than the minimum safety spacing as is generally accepted for car following in AHS. Using simulation testing, researchers determine that the PLC maneuvers presented are feasible under the constraints of appropriate levels of safety and human passenger comfort levels. Safety was also demonstrated in the event of an emergency case.
