A cruise and headway control strategy using distributed model predictive control, developed for a vehicle platooning application is proposed in this paper. The cruise control (i.e. driving the vehicle with a constant velocity demanded by the driver) is designed for the platoon's leading vehicle, whereas for the rest of the platoon, a headway control strategy is developed. Thus, the control objective...
Distributed and decentralized control systems have been studied for decades. Already in [1], a survey of decentralized control methods for large-scale systems published in the late 1970s, it was stressed that "when considering large systems the presupposition of centrality fails to hold due either to the lack of centralized information or the lack of centralized computing capability." Hence,...
As an evolution of peer-to-peer (p2p) file-sharing applications, overlay-based networks are also adopted to efficiently distribute content with real-time constraints to a wide user population. In addition, they can be utilized to exploit application level strategies to overcome limitations imposed by the underlying network infrastructure, e.g., the lack of multicast support. In this perspective, the...
