Distributed Model Predictive Control for Platooning of Heterogeneous Vehicles with Multiple Constraints and Communication Delays

In this paper, the vehicle platoon control problems for a group of heterogeneous vehicles are investigated, where the multiple constraints of the vehicles and the communication delays among the vehicles are taken into consideration. A distributed model predictive control (DMPC) scheme is proposed to...
