System Identification of CACC in Multi-brand Truck Platoon

Abstract

In platooning using Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC), which is being jointly studied by four Japanese domestic truck manufacturers, it is necessary to consider functional evaluations and improvements to realize the platooning system. In actual vehicle experiments, the consideration is limited from the viewpoints of cost and safety. Therefore, in this research, CACC systems are modeled from actual experimental results. The models are validated by simulations.
