| Summary: | The vehicle convoy operation is becoming necessary nowadays to move a large group of people or things. The relative movements of a vehicle convoy will have to consider the string stability of its operation, while maintaining safe spacing between vehicles. Normally, movement of the vehicles is controlled by a human. Now with the new invention and study, the vehicle motion can be controlled manually and also automatically. In recent years, researchers have carried out investigations on developing the vehicles that can move in automated mode in many kinds of operations. One of the operations is moving vehicles in a convoy mode. To achieve the operations, a control strategy is required to produce an algorithm or modeling that can represent the nature of the operations. The simulation is carried out to investigate the control strategy on the controller built using Matlab/Simulink software to analyze its performances under various conditions. |
