Auto-adaptive and string stable strategy for intelligent cruise control

This study completes the study of a longitudinal control strategy based on a non-linear acceleration profile model. The model is thoroughly defined by a set of two design parameters that make the control policy auto-adaptive. The control strategy is safe and Stop´consistent. The string stability property of the control policy is also analysed. Simulation results show that the control policy has a good string stability property with high string stability margin with respect to Pipes and Chandler´s control strategy.
