Abstract
This paper considers the theoretical part for longitudinal control of merging maneuver for an automated highway system. The longitudinal control problem for merging is proposed for different road layouts. Then a unified mathematical model is established and a new concept called virtual platooning is proposed, which effectively avoids a two point boundary value problem. Based on it, a rather general adaptive algorithm is provided and proved. This algorithm has been implemented and tested with automated cars
