A Survey on Cooperative Longitudinal Motion Control of Multiple Connected and Automated Vehicles

摘要

Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) have the potential to address a number of safety, mobility, and sustainability issues of our current transportation systems. Cooperative longitudinal motion control is one of the key CAV technologies that allows vehicles to be driven in a cooperative manner to achieve system-wide benefits. In this paper, we provide a literature survey on the progress accomplished by researchers worldwide regarding cooperative longitudinal motion control systems of multiple CAVs. Specifically, the architecture of various cooperative CAV systems is reviewed to answer < italic > how cooperative longitudinal motion control can work with the help of multiple system modules. Next, different operational concepts of cooperative longitudinal motion control applications are reviewed to answer < italic > where they can be implemented in today's transportation systems . Different cooperative longitudinal motion control methodologies and their major characteristics are then described to answer < italic > what the critical design issues are . This paper concludes by describing an overall landscape of cooperative longitudinal motion control of CAVs, as well as pointing out opportunities and challenges in the future research and experimental implementations.
