A platooning control arrangement in which a signal for use in controlling the action of at least one of the brake and throttle is sent from at least one vehicle of the platoon to at least one other vehicle of the platoon where the control signal is represented with respect to a model of a standardized vehicle, and the receiving vehicle applies its brakes or throttle based on the received control signal. The model of a standardized vehicle is known to at least the sending and receiving vehicles. Compensation may be applied for delays in the control signal's path. Advantageously, the platoon may be a heterogeneous platoon and each vehicle in the platoon can have its brake and throttle properly controlled without needing to know anything about the dynamical model of any vehicle in the platoon other than its own. Abnormal road conditions may also be detected.
