This paper studies the internal stability and string stability of a vehicle platooning of constant time headway spacing policy with a varying-speed leader using a multiple-predecessor-following strategy via vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Unlike the common case in which the leaders speed is constant and different kinds of Proportional-Integral-Derivative controllers are implemented, in this case, the fact that the leader has a time-varying speed necessitates the design of an observer. First, in order to estimate its position, speed and acceleration error with respect to the leader, each follower designs an observer. The observer is designed by means of constructing an observer matrix whose parameters should be determined. We simplifies the design of the matrix of the observer in such a way that the design boils down to choosing a scalar value. The resulting observer turns out to have a third order integrator dynamics, which provides an advantage of simplifying the controller structure and, hence, derive conditions for string stability using a frequency response method. A new heuristic searching algorithm is developed to deduce the controller parameter conditions, given a fixed time headway, for string stability. Additionally, a bisection-like algorithm is incorporated into the above algorithm to obtain the minimum (with some deviation tolerance) available value of the time headway by fixing one controller parameter. The effectiveness of the internal and string stabilities of the proposed observer-based controller is demonstrated via comparison examples.
Leader-follower tracking control design has received significant attention in recent years due to its important and wide applications. Considering a multi-agent system composed of a leader and multiple followers, this paper proposes and investigates
In this paper, a full-bridge boost power converter topology is studied for power factor control, using output high order sliding mode control. The AC/DC converters are used for charging the battery and super-capacitor in hybrid electric vehicles from
This paper studies robust tracking control for a leader-follower multi-agent system (MAS) subject to disturbances. A challenging problem is considered here, which differs from those in the literature in two aspects. First, we consider the case when a
Networked robotic systems, such as connected vehicle platoons, can improve the safety and efficiency of transportation networks by allowing for high-speed coordination. To enable such coordination, these systems rely on networked communications. This
We study how to design a secure observer-based distributed controller such that a group of vehicles can achieve accurate state estimates and formation control even if the measurements of a subset of vehicle sensors are compromised by a malicious atta
