Abstract

This study proposes a platoon control for connected vehicles under the realistic vehicle-to-vehicle/vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2X) communications. In particular, a two-level framework including the vehicle merging and diverging is designed for the platoon control. Then, the corresponding field experiments are implemented according to the designed framework. To this end, the dedicated short range communication (DSRC) is used to facilitate the communication links. And on-board units (OBUs) and roadside units (RSUs) are developed for information exchange (i.e., position, speed and direction). In addition, the IEEE 802.11p is chosen as the protocol of DSRC. Results from the experiments validate the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of the position trajectories and speed.
