Abstract

This note presents an overview of the modeling and control strategies on vehicle platooning of road vehicles and focuses specifically on the modeling and control strategies. In general, independent (simplified) vehicle models are related and coupled only through the control laws. The control problem is then studied and several strategies are considered (local, global and mixed) in literature.

The modeling approach that we prefer is the one of robotics considering the geometric, the kinematic and the dynamic models. Several models exist in literature [1,2,3,4]. The use of nonlinear robust approaches gives a better controllability of the fleet and more robust behavior against uncertainties and modeling errors.
