Adaptive Algorithm to Vehicle Following Control in Intelligent Transportation System

Abstract

In this paper, the Lyapunov second method is used to derive adaptive control laws that can be used to control the spacing between vehicles in a platoon. The decentralized adaptive algorithm to compensate for parametric variations is investigated and the terminal sliding mode longitudinal control laws for each vehicle in the platoon are designed. From the simulation of the vehicle platoon, convergence rate of spacing errors of the vehicle platoon is fast.
