Description
Summary:In this paper, we consider the cooperative adaptive cruise control problem of connected autonomous vehicles networked by heterogeneous wireless channel transmission. The cooperative adaptive cruise control model with variable input delays is established to describe the varying time-delays induced from vehicular actuators and heterogeneous channel transmission. Then a set of decentralized time-delay feedback cooperative adaptive cruise control controllers is computed in such way that each vehicle evaluates its own adaptive cruise control strategy using only neighborhood information. In order to establish string stability of the connected vehicle platoon with the decentralized controllers, the sufficient conditions are obtained in the form of linear matrix inequalities. The scenarios, consisting of four different cars with three heterogeneous wireless channels, are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented method.
