摘要

A method and system for longitudinal control of vehicles in a platoon The present disclosure relates to a system for zone based longitudinal control of vehicles in a platoon. In an aspect, system of the present disclosure can, based on input conditions, environmental conditions and horizon conditions position a following vehicle (FV) 104 in an appropriate zone that the system selects from a plurality of zones that are defined based on distance range to be maintained between a leading vehicle LV 102 and the FV 104 and speed range at which the FV 104 is to operate. The input conditions include at least deceleration status of LV 102.The environmental conditions include at least vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication status, and the horizon conditions include an information pertaining to an upcoming event or location at which modification is required to longitudinal movement rate of one or both of the LV 102 and the FV 104.
