"Distributed multilane merging for connected autonomous vehicle platoon" by Jingkai Wu, Yafei Wang et al.
In the context of coordination of connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs), the platooning operation is a promising application. The formulation of a single stream of CAVs is conducive to traffic efficiency and merging operations extend the benefits for multilane road users. However, the problem of simultaneous merging and platooning lacks comprehensive investigation. A solution is formulated in this paper through a new scheme that considers inter-vehicle safety distance constraints and distributed deployment utilizing local inter-vehicle information exchanges. A distributed consensus-based contro...
