Both traffic throughput and the vehicle passenger safety can be increased by automating road intersections. We propose the virtual platooning concept to ensure a smooth, efficient and safe traffic flow through an automated intersection. The virtual platoon is formed by defining a virtual inter-vehicle distance between vehicles driving on different lanes. Such distance is employed by a Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) system which, in turn, generates the required safe "gaps" for the vehicles to cross the intersection. A simulation study demonstrates the functionality of the presented methodology, which is referred to as Cooperative Intersection Control (CIC).
