STABILITY ANALYSIS OF A LONGITUDINAL CONTROL LAW FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES

In this paper, the authors focus on analyzing an acceleration law for a following autonomous vehicle with a constant time headway. The positioning functions are discussed, and the asymptotic stability of the acceleration control law on following and leading vehicles are proved, as is platoon stability. Simulation study results validate the theoretical results and show the impact of initial conditions.
