Controller gain tuning for road vehicle following in a convoy system

Recently, vehicle convoy system has been one of the interesting topics to researchers, since it has the ability to perform tasks more powerfully than individual vehicles. Control strategy issue in this system also needs to be considered and analysed. In a convoy system, the control system on the fol...
