REAL TIME TASK MANAGER FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND CONTROL IN MULTICAR PLATOONS

Suggests that an Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (IVHS) can be divided into four layers of control: regulation layer, platoon layer link layer, and network layer. The focus of this paper is on the regulation and platoon layers. A protocol is proposed to allow the exchange of messages by vehicles performing co-operative maneuvers. The test and implementation of the protocol on an automatically controlled platoon to maintain longitudinal control is described. Recent experiments in two-car platoon systems in PATH demonstrated a successful scheme for inter-vehicle communication. This paper presents another design of a communication task for multi-car platoons and a C-language implementation.
