Abstract :
New variable structure longitudinal controller is designed for “constant safety factor” safety policy. The controller guarantees both the individual vehicle stability and the platoon stability in L∞ sense in the presence of parametric uncertainties, time-varying disturbances and without any feedforward information. The results are confirmed by simulation
