Platooning of Car-like Vehicles in Urban Environments: An Observer-based Approach Considering Actuator Dynamics and Time delays

Résumé

In this paper, a distributed observer-based approach is proposed to control the longitudinal motion of car-like vehicle platoon moving in an urban environment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work presenting an observer-based platoon controller that combines the advantages of high traffic capacity and a minimum number of communication links. To achieve a high traffic flow, a constant-spacing policy is used. However, for that policy, to make platoon string stable, the leader information must be broadcast to all the vehicles. Therefore, we propose a control law in which the predecessor position information is acquired by a sensor-based link while a communication-based link is used to obtain the leader information. Then, an observer is designed and integrated into the control law such that the velocity information of the predecessor can be estimated without the need to communicate with the preceding vehicle. For navigation in urban environments, we present a third order platoon model represented in the curvilinear coordinates. Conditions for asymptotic stability and string stability are given considering the vehicle actuator dynamics and the induced network/sensor time delay. Finally, we provide both simulation and real-time results to validate our approach feasibility and to corroborate our theoretical findings. Index Terms-platoon in urban environments, curvilinear coordinates , observer-based longitudinal control, limited communication , high traffic flow.
