System and method for adjusting vehicle platoon distances based on predicted external perturbations

摘要: A control system is provided for platooning a plurality of vehicles, each which equipped with vehicle braking systems and V2V communication components. The determines nominal following distances said vehicles relative to an immediately preceding vehicle, based in part on brake performance capabilities. Vehicle sensors throughout the platoon are implemented monitor target positioned platoon, some or all dynamically adjusted account event risks associated vehicles. Adjustment trailing may be proactively applied even before reaction determined lead signals simultaneously generated implementing movement adjustments distance adjustments. Adjustments threshold violations front, laterally merging into, tailgating behind platoon.
