Abstract

The Lyapunov stability theorem is used to derive a control law which can be used to control the spacing between vehicles in a platoon. A third order system is adopted to model the vehicle and powertrain dynamics. In addition, the concept of 'Expected Spacing Error' is introduced and used to form a Lyapunov function. Then a control law which always decreases the Lyapunov function is selected. A platoon of four vehicles and various scenarios are used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed control law.
