Nonlinear Control for Urban Vehicles Platooning, Relying upon a Unique Kinematic GPS
Résumé
In order to solve problems of traffic saturation in cities, new alternative "Urban Transportation Systems" are based on electric vehicles in free-access. One necessary functionality of such systems is their ability to move in a platoon fashion. Platooning of these automatic guided vehicles, relying on RTK-GPS sensors and inter-vehicles communication, is addressed in this paper. More precisely, vehicles platoon is expected to follow a curved reference path. Relying on nonlinear control theory, lateral and longitudinal control are fully decoupled, and therefore addressed independently. To ensure passengers comfort, additional monitoring functions supervise our control system. Then, simulations followed by experiments carried out with urban vehicles, are presented.
