First, based on the method of sensitivity of error\u0000 propagation to the disturbance, a linear platoon model is established by\u0000 considering an individual vehicle as a lumped-mass point. Then, the transfer\u0000 function matrix from disturbance to spacing error is derived for sensitivity\u0000 analysis. Finally, especially considering the inherent vehicle dynamics, the\u0000 Burckhardt tire force model is adopted to construct a nonlinear platoon dynamics\u0000 model for the nonlinear dynamics analysis. The results reveal the\u0000 characteristics of each platoon configuration, as well as the design of control\u0000 gains in terms of the anti-disturbing performance. The nonlinear dynamics\u0000 property in high-adhesion conditions are generally similar to those of the\u0000 sensitivity analysis based on the linear platoon model. However, some particular\u0000 and complex phenomena different from the linear sensitivity analysis especially\u0000 in low-adhesion conditions are only observed by the nonlinear dynamics\u0000 analysis.","PeriodicalId":417451,"journal":{"name":"SAE International Journal of Connected and Automated Vehicles","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121325926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
