Abstract

International audience; This article studies cooperative vehicle platooning under different communications approaches and introduces a new dynamic control scheme based on the Predicted Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (PCACC). We start by a performance comparison of different communication technologies including VLC (Visible Light Communication) and V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle), with or without relaying via RSU (Road Side Unit), and assess their suitability to fully cooperative and semi-autonomous control schemes. Different from the state of the art, our main design goal is the robustness in terms of an extremely low probability of emergency braking under varying communication conditions and bursts of packet losses. In the light of the performance results, we propose an adaptive control mechanism that tunes the control gains as a function of the observed radio link quality and demonstrate, via extensive simulations, a significantly better performance compared to static control strategies. Index Terms-Vehicle platoons, cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC), wireless communication.
