Abstract
High level vehicle automation systems are currently being studied to attenuate highway traffic and energy consumption by applying the concept of platooning, which has gained increased attention due to progresses in the next generation of mobile communication (5G). The introduction of more complex automation systems originates, however, fault entry points that hinders the system safety and resilience. This paper presents an initial control architecture for the electric vehicles platoon from a fault-tolerant control perspective. To achieve a fault-tolerant platooning structure an over-actuated electric vehicle topology is proposed which may allow the implementation of different redundancies. Furthermore, some of the major challenges in the platooning network control system (NCS) are presented and the techniques to overcome these issues are explored.
