Abstract :
This paper analyzed the condition that the merging maneuvre should satisfied, according to the different road layouts, a longitudinal control algorithm is proposed based on the concept of virtual platoon , which can effectively avoids the jump of the velocity and accelerate of merging vehicle, therefore guarantee the passengerspsila safety and comfort , simulation validate the effect of the method.
