Master Thesis

Dynamic Modeling and Distributed Control of Vehicular Platoon under the Four-Component Framework (in Chinese) Link
基于四元素构架的车辆队列动力学建模与分布式控制

Tsinghua University, 2015
Abstract
Vehicular platoon has potential to singnificantly mitigate traffic congestion, enhance road safety and improve fuel economy. Many existing research only focus on designning tools to analyze a specific vehicular platoon with single communication topology, which lacks a general framework to handle platoons with different information flow topologies. To address aforementioned issue, this thesis proposes a four-component framework for vehicular platoon, and within such framework the closed-loop stability and robust performance are discussed for linear homogenesous platoons. Besides, this thesis further introduces a design process of distributed model predictive control (DMPC) to deal with nonlinear heterogeneous platoons. The results in this thesis can provide tools and lay foundation to address performance analysis and controller design for vechculiar platoons with different information flow topologies.
