“…Our proposed dynamic controller goes far beyond a simple performance assessment under errors or a graceful degradation framework that switches to a completely local controller, as it continuously adapts to the link quality while preserving the robustness. Note that in a previous work [9], we proposed a centralized design for the controller and showed that the radio link quality has a significant impact on the performance, while we present in this paper a more dynamic approach where the controller is dynamically adapted to the communication link status.…”

This article studies cooperative vehicle platooning under different communications approaches and introduces a new dynamic control scheme based on the Predicted Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (PCACC). We start by a performance comparison of different communication technologies including VLC (Visible Light Communication) and V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle), with or without relaying via RSU (Road Side Unit), and assess their suitability to fully cooperative and semi-autonomous control schemes. Different from the state of the art, our main design goal is the robustness in terms of an extremely low probability of emergency braking under varying communication conditions and bursts of packet losses. In the light of the performance results, we propose an adaptive control mechanism that tunes the control gains as a function of the observed radio link quality and demonstrate, via extensive simulations, a significantly better performance compared to static control strategies.Index Terms-Vehicle platoons, cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC), wireless communication.

“…3) Proposed adaptive control scheme based on PCACC: In contrast to existing works that assume a fixed control strategy, we adopt an approach that adapts the control parameters based on the communication link quality, as introduced in our previous work [9]. In particular, among the control inputs, the parameter D des has a substantial impact on the performance of the system.…”

We study in this paper the design of the vehicleto-everything (V2X) network for vehicle platooning scenarios. We focus on the impact of packet relaying using Road Side Units (RSU) on the application-level performance, namely the inter-vehicle distance in the platoon. The RSU extends the coverage range of the platoon leader and allows handling the well-known Predicted Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (PCACC) scheme. We develop a Markov model for evaluating the performances of the different communication links (inter-vehicle and vehicle-to-RSU), using licensed or unlicensed spectrum. We then develop a cross-layer approach that adapts the application layer (PCACC control parameters) to the observed Medium Access Layer (MAC) performance. The simulations results prove that relaying allows to greatly reduce both the communication link failures and the intervehicular distances while introducing minimal delay in the system. Furthermore, even if using licensed spectrum for the relay link it drastically reduces the Packet Error Rate (PER) compared to the unlicensed spectrum case, the robustness of the application layer scheme makes the latter case viable for the considered scenario.

“…Actually, V2V can not only realise the communication between dual vehicles, but also coordinate the driving of multi‐vehicle platooning. In multi‐vehicle platooning system, gathering vehicles close together could reduce the air resistance of each vehicle, which increases road capacity and reduces fuel consumption [135]. Therefore, multi‐vehicle platooning can be deployed through real‐time traffic information provided by V2V/V2I communication.…”
