Abstract
The problems encountered in a highway automation project are considered. The overall system consists of N+1 vehicles (the platoon); each vehicle is driven by the same input, and the state of the k-th vehicle affects the dynamics of the (k+1)-th vehicle; furthermore, the dynamics of each vehicle is affected by its (local) state-feedback controller. Under very general conditions, it is shown that, for sufficient slowly varying inputs, the local feedbacks can be designed so that the platoon maintains its cohesion.<>
