The Application of Fuzzy Control Algorithm in the Longitudinal Control System for a Platoon of Vehicles

This paper presents a platoon control algorithm, which does not require an exact model of a vehicle and is robust against model uncertainties. The suggested platoon control scheme in this paper consists of a headway controller and a velocity/acceleration controller while the velocity/acceleration controller adjust the output of the vehicle for tracking the command from the headway controller. We also give some analysis of string stability of the platoon system
