The purpose of this paper is to design and test a vehicle control system in order to achieve full vehicle automation in the longitudinal direction for several modes of operation, where the infrastructure manages the vehicle following. A supervisory controller is designed to provide the required...

In this study, the authors consider a family of six Automated Highway Systems (AHS) operational concepts. For each concept, the minimum inter- vehicle spacing that could be used for collision-free vehicle following, under different road conditions, is calculated. For architectures involving...

This paper presents a systematic analysis of a longitudinal control law for a platoon of non-identical vehicles using a non-linear model for the vehicle dynamics.
