Title
Situation-aware switching of the communication topology for heterogeneous platoons
Abstract
Communication-based controllers for platooning are often designed for a homogeneous vehicle composition in a nominal driving situation. However, in real applications, platoons will consist of different vehicles and thus be heterogeneous, which increases the requirements for safe operation. In addition, controllers designed for the nominal driving situation are not necessarily capable of handling external disturbances. In this paper, a concept for changing the communication topology depending on the current driving situation in a heterogeneous platoon is presented. The concept is applied in cooperative emergency braking. For this situation it is shown how a suitable communication topology can be found and that collisions within the platoon can be avoided by changing the topology.
