Fuzzy Control for Platooning Systems Based on V2V Communication

In this paper, we developed an innovative approach using adaptive PID (Proportion, integral and derivation) controller using fuzzy logic theory to keep variable time-gap between dynamic cars, particularly for platooning system. Our study shows that robustness in maintaining gap between the dynamic cars, despite the specific vehicle model. In order to demonstrate robustness, in our study for the platooning system.it requires a set of information needed to be exchange using V2V communication protocol. However, the set of information required vehicle state dynamic information from the vehicle in front of itself. The simulation results presented in this paper show a significant improvement in keeping time-gap variable between the cars to have a safe and efficient flow of the platoonina system.
