Velocity Control of Vehicles in Platoon Overtaking Other Vehicle

In the vehicle platoon, vehicles move in the small distance. It can improve the traffic capacity of the traffic road network. For the safety traffic flow in the vehicle platoon, the vehicles are controlled with electric and mechanical systems. This study focuses on the simulation where vehicles in the platoon overtake the other vehicle. The vehicle velocity is controlled with the vehicle following model such as Chandler model, extended Chandler model and Asahina model. The model is confirmed in the simulation of three-vehicle platoon overtaking a vehicles. The results show that the extended Chandler model can control the vehicle platoon stably.
