Abstract:

This paper presents a control algorithm for a platoon of vehicles. We employ the radial basis function neural networks (NNs) to approximate unknown vehicle dynamics. A direct adaptive method used to update the NN weights on-line is proposed. It is shown that the proposed controller is of the decentralized type and ensures platoon stability. The performance of the controller is illustrated by simulations.
