This paper proposes a new nonlinear longitudinal controller for connected vehicle platoons with a focus on the incorporation of throttle opening angle. In particular, the dynamic model is used to formulate the characteristics of the vehicle. Then, a new longitudinal controller is developed by considering the car-following interactions between vehicles and position and velocity difference as well as throttle opening angle difference with respect to the immediately preceding vehicle. Finally, PreScan-based simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller regarding the velocity and acceleration/deceleration profiles.
