Abstract

This study proposes a dedicated short range communications (DSRC) based vehicular platoon control considering the realistic vehicle-to-vehicle/vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2V/V2I) communications. In particular, the information on vehicles of interest, i.e., speed and position, is shared with the neighboring vehicles or roadside units (RSUs) through the on-board units (OBUs) via the DSRC. Then, the leader-follower approach is used to manage the vehicular platoon. The leader of platoon can receive/send the relevant information from/to the followers so as to guarantee the stable platoon formation. Field experiments are performed in two scenarios: platoon forming and merging. Results from the experiments validate the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of the speed and position trajectories.
