“…The impact of communication quality on the safety and efficiency of truck platoons is crucial, particularly in dynamic highway environments. Studies such as those in [25,26] have focused on this aspect, examining how fluctuations in V2V communication can affect platoon stability and proposing mechanisms to mitigate these effects. These works highlight the importance of robust communication frameworks and adaptive control strategies in maintaining platoon integrity, especially when faced with communication delays or disruptions.…”

The increasing demand for efficient and safe transportation systems has led to the development of autonomous vehicles and vehicle platooning. Truck platooning, in particular, offers numerous benefits, such as reduced fuel consumption, enhanced traffic flow, and increased safety. In this paper, we present a drone-based decentralized framework for truck platooning in highway monitoring scenarios. Our approach employs multiple drones, which communicate with the trucks and make real-time decisions on whether to form a platoon or not, leveraging Model Predictive Control (MPC) and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) for drone formation control. The proposed framework integrates a simple truck model in the existing drone-based simulation, addressing the truck dynamics and constraints for practical applicability. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in maintaining the desired platoon formations while ensuring collision avoidance and adhering to the vehicle constraints. This innovative drone-based truck platooning system has the potential to significantly improve highway monitoring efficiency, traffic management, and safety. Our drone-based truck platooning system is primarily designed for implementation in highway monitoring and management scenarios, where its enhanced communication and real-time decision-making capabilities can significantly contribute to traffic efficiency and safety. Future work may focus on field trials to validate the system in real-world conditions and further refine the algorithms based on practical feedback and evolving vehicular technologies.

“…The safety in vehicle platooning is a valid concern tackled in the review works [16,17]. The string stability of a platoon in the presence of communication delays and proposed compensation strategies available in the literature are reviewed in [18]. Several concerns still need to be given attention by the community, such as providing validation beyond the simulation scenarios, dealing with insufficient accuracy when measuring the information related to the platoon neighbors, or poor real-time performance, caused by complex calculations and the processing of real-time data transmitted between platoon vehicles, among others.…”

In this work, we propose a coalitional control solution for a multi-agent networked system. The idea is to use a flexible communication topology, in which the communication links are enabled or disabled between sub-systems, depending on their shared task. The control methodology is designed in an optimal control framework, by computing an optimal state feedback gain matrix corresponding to each communication topology. The proposed control algorithm was validated in simulation, and tested in real-time experiments using a heterogeneous vehicle platoon consisting of four mobile robots. Both simulation and experimental results illustrate the efficacy of our proposed methodology.
