Development of a platooning control algorithm based on RoboCar

As a means to improve the efficiency and flexibility of transportation systems, platooning technology suggests as a way of reducing carbon dioxide emissions and safe driving at a high speed velocity. This paper describes a control Algorithm for platooning and remaining the safety distance between vehicles. We also propose a control algorithm that enables when the vehicles to travel on the road in the intersection, to allow to the group formation the new platoon and control the separation distance. Simulation results and experiments by RoboCar show the feasibility of proposed Algorithm.
