Nous proposons un contrôleur de plateau distribué qui garantit une traversée sûre et lisse des systèmes multi-vehicules à une intersection non signalée. Pour soutenir l'analyse de stabilité, nous considérons un contrôleur de plateau multi-vehicule manœuvrant le long d'un chemin fermé avec une seule intersection non signalée. Contrairement aux conceptions déconnectées à deux niveaux traditionnelles sur des chemins ouverts, qui se concentrent principalement sur le contrôle de l'intersection tout en négligant son couplage avec la convergence du plateau, et empêchant ainsi une analyse de convergence rigoureuse, le réglage de chemin fermé nous permet d'analyser le comportement asymptotique du plateau CAR.

Abstract

We propose a distributed platoon controller that guarantees safe and smooth crossing of multi-vehicle systems at an unsignalized intersection. To support the stability analysis, we consider a multi-vehicle platoon maneuvering along a closed path with a single unsignalized intersection. Unlike traditional bi-level decoupled designs on open paths, which primarily focus on intersection control while neglecting its coupling with platoon convergence, and thus hindering rigorous convergence analysis, the closed-path setting allows us to analyze the asymptotic behavior of the platoon. The local exponential convergence analysis of the switched closed-loop system, induced by repeated vehicle switching at the intersection, is presented. Under some mild conditions on the controller gains, we show that safe intersection crossing is ensured during the transient phase and smooth crossing is achieved in steady state, where all vehicles travel at a common constant speed while avoiding collisions at the intersection. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed distributed controller is demonstrated in a high-fidelity CARLA simulator using multiple commercial vehicle models.
