Tradeoff between Quality of Control (QoC) and Quality of Service (QoS) for Networked Vehicles Cruise Control

Abstract

In this paper, we present a vehicle platoon control over network. We focus on cruise control problem with network delay. Here, we study the stability of the vehicle platoon under network constraints and based on the stability criterion, we trade-off between quality of service (QoS) and quality of control (QoC). A controller is designed for speed regulation. We present the condition for maximum allowable delay bound, by using LMI, which can be tolerated by the close loop platoon system. The relation between maximum allowable transfer interval (MATI) and maximum allowable delay bound (MADB) under try once discard (TOD) scheduling algorithm is shown. Some of the existing networked technologies are studied and compared.
