Platoon can travel with a small distance between vehicles, effectively reducing air resistance, reducing fuel consumption, and significantly improving traffic conditions. In order to maintain a safe and stable intra-vehicle distance, the paper proposes a distributed model predictive control method considering the state of the leader vehicle. The leader vehicle adapts an adaptive cruise control, and the following vehicle uses a controller with the same parameters to maintain a constant time gap. Vehicles need to join or exit the platoon in order to perform specific tasks in driving, so the paper proposes a scheduling strategy for the three scenarios of rear exiting, rear joining, and middle exiting. This paper uses Simulink and TruckSim to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm under platoon merge and split conditions.
