Novel Results on Mesh Stability for a Class of Vehicle Following System with Time Delays

In this paper, the problem on the mesh stability for a class of vehicle following system with time delays is investigated. Based on the vector Lyapunov function method and inequality technique, several criteria for checking the global exponential stability and global exponential mesh stability are obtained. An example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed theoretical results.
