Abstract
This paper describes the use of modern approaches of formal verification of behavioral and temporal properties in an experimentation of automatic vehicle following. We firstly recall the key concepts of the proposed specification method: the robot-task, which allows to describe in a structured way an automatic control law and the associated discrete-event handling; the robot-procedure, which is the specification of complex missions from the logical point of view. We then present the used environment (Orccad) and verification tools, based on the use of synchronous languages for the reactive part of the system. This is followed by a description of the conducted experiments, which involves two electric cars, within the Praxitèle project. Results and foreseen future works are given in the conclusion.
