Abstract :
This paper presents readily checkable criteria for several system theoretic properties (stability, approximate and exact controllability, exponential stabilizability) for a particular class of infinite-dimensional systems, the platoon-type systems. These systems are used for modeling infinite platoons of vehicles which have spatially invariant dynamics. Several examples are presented to illustrate the theory.
