  • Abstract
    This paper uses the theory of optimal control to design an optimal linear feedback system which regulates the position and velocity of every vehicle in a densely packed string of high-speed moving vehicles. In addition to the general theoretical formulation and solution of the optimization problem, analog computer simulation results are presented for the case of a string of three vehicles.
