Stability and Intervehicle Distance Analysis of Vehicular Platoons: Highlighting the Impact of Bidirectional Communication Topologies
Download2024-02-18
Amir Zakerimanesh, Tony Z. Qiu, Mahdi Tavakoli
Vehicular platooning, a configuration comprising a leading vehicle and multiple follower vehicles (FVs) seeks to achieve and maintain specific intervehicle distances (IDs) while synchronizing FVs with the velocity and acceleration of the leading vehicle. Before attaining a desired stable state,...

Heavy-oil development is becoming increasingly important because of the continuous decline in conventional-oil production. For heavy-oil reservoirs, the oil viscosity usually varies dramatically during production processes such as in thermal processes. When producing heavy oil, the high viscosity...
