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,...

Task-Space Synchronization of Nonlinear Teleoperation with Time-Varying Delays and Actuator Saturation
Download2022-11-04
Amir Zakerimanesh, Farzad Hashemzadeh, Mahdi Tavakoli
In a nonlinear teleoperation system controlled for task-space position tracking, while the time-varying delay in the communication channel has been addressed, the actuator saturation has not been taken into account yet. Considering that in practice, the actuator saturation is a serious...
