Abstract
Based on model set identification and unfalsification, robust performance measured in peak-to-peak gain is analyzed for heterogeneous platoons, inter-vehicle communication delays and actuator uncertainties. The goal is to demonstrate that safe platooning with acceptable performance can be achieved by utilizing the services already available on every commercial heavy truck with automated gearbox. Experimental verification of a three vehicle platoon is also presented.
