Abstract

This paper describes the development of an Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) experimental system with vehicle-to-vehicle communication based on a car with factory installed ACC system. The controller design will be introduced in detail on how to incorporate the information shared through wireless communication link. The structure of the proposed CACC controller and an indirect adaptive Model Predictive Control (MPC) based gap regulation controller are presented. Experimental results from field testing at both vehicle proving ground and public highway are shown to verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller design.
