SARTRE COOPERATIVE CONTROL OF FULLY AUTOMATED PLATOON VEHICLES

摘要

The SARTRE project is an EU FP7 project which aims to develop strategies and technologiesto allow vehicle platoons to operate on normal public highways with significantenvironmental, safety and comfort benefits. The vehicles in the platoon, except for the leadvehicle, will drive with fully automated control of speed and direction. This paper providesan overview of the vehicle and platoon control systems, describes the use and benefits ofshared vehicle data transmitted using V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) communications, shows theresults to date, and describes the remaining tasks.
