A pre-compensation control algorithm for vehicle platoon stability problem

To tackle the string stability problem of a vehicle platoon, an efficient collision prevention pre-compensation control algorithm called CPPC is proposed in this paper. In the algorithm, acceleration, speed, location, communication delay and spacing errors are introduced. The safe distance between vehicles is used to keep driving safety. We evaluate our algorithm experimentally using simulation method and compared it with the no string stability control algorithm. It reveals very encouraging simulation results indicate effectiveness of the proposed approach.
