Abstract :
The paper is concerned with a relative navigation system. The previous reported relative navigation system designed for formation flight is applied to vehicle platooning. This system is based on both GPS (Global Positioning System) and millimeter-wave radar. This approach includes a federated Kalman filter. The longitudinal controller based on estimates controls a vehicle in a platoon to maintain the desired spacing. Vehicle platooning problem on the highway are presented to illustrate the proposed relative navigation system
