Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to design and test a vehicle control system in order to achieve full vehicle automation in the longitudinal direction for several modes of operation, where the infrastructure manages the vehicle following. These modes include autonomous vehicles, cooperative vehicle following and platooning. The vehicle control system consists of a supervisory controller that processes the inputs from the driver, the infrastructure, other vehicles and the on-board sensors and sends the appropriate commands to the brake and throttle controllers. In addition, the controller makes decisions about normal, emergency and transition operations. Simulation results of some of the basic vehicle following manoeuvres are used to verify the claimed performance of the designed controllers.
