PROJECT TITLE :

A Survey on Platoon-Based Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems

ABSTRACT:

Vehicles moving around with some common interests will cooperatively kind a platoon-based driving pattern, in that a vehicle follows another vehicle and maintains a little and nearly constant distance to the preceding vehicle. It's been proved that, compared with driving individually, such a platoon-primarily based driving pattern will significantly improve road capacity and energy potency. Moreover, with the emerging vehicular accidental network (VANET), the performance of a platoon in terms of road capacity, safety, energy potency, etc., can be further improved. On the opposite hand, the physical dynamics of vehicles inside the platoon will additionally affect the performance of a VANET. Such a advanced system can be considered a platoon-based vehicular cyber-physical system (VCPS), which has attracted vital attention recently. In this paper, we gift a comprehensive survey on a platoon-based VCPS. We initial review the connected work of a platoon-primarily based VCPS. We tend to then introduce two elementary techniques involved in a very platoon-based VCPS, i.e., the vehicular NetWorking design and standards, and traffic dynamics, respectively. We more discuss the elemental issues during a platoon-based VCPS, including vehicle platooning/Clustering, cooperative adaptive cruise management, platoon-primarily based vehicular Communications, etc., all of that are characterised by the tightly coupled relationship between traffic dynamics and VANET behaviors. Since system verification is vital to VCPS development, we additionally give an outline of VCPS simulation tools. Finally, we have a tendency to share our view on some open issues which will result in new research directions.
