Automatic vehicle following of personal mobility vehicles for autonomous platooning

The motivation of this work is to enhance personal mobility vehicles (PMV) with autonomous vehicle technologies, such as autonomous vehicle platooning to realize new potentials and possibilities for future urban transportation system. This paper reports our development on the automatic vehicle following system building for autonomous platooning of PMV. We have developed a 3D sensing system for both object (front vehicle) detection and longitudinal distance sensing. We have conducted straight and curve paths vehicle following experiments using the automatic vehicle following system to fine-tune the control parameters. We have furthered our investigation to evaluate the performance of the developed system in autonomous platooning of two automatic following PMVs with a leading human-driven PMV. The experimental results have proven the effectiveness of the developed vehicle following system to achieve autonomous platooning of PMV.
