Periodic event-triggered CACC for vehicle platooning: a hybrid system approach

Key Points

• This research aims to improve data transmission in cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) vehicle platoons using a periodic event-triggered control scheme.
• Proposed a periodic event-triggered control strategy for CACC vehicles in platoon formation.
• Established string stability through a Lyapunov-based approach.
• Conducted numerical simulations to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
• The periodic event-triggered control strategy significantly reduces the demand on network communication resources.
