Multilevel Reconfiguration Strategy for the System of Systems Engineering: Application to Platoon of Vehicles

Abstract

In the present work, a generic method for multilevel modeling and reconfiguration of the System of Systems Engineering (SoSE) is proposed based on the bond graph modeling approach. The proposed formulation is applied to the road traffic dynamic for a platoon of Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles (IAVs). A bond graph model-based reconfiguration strategy is proposed for the multilevel model of the road traffic dynamic combining three levels namely submicroscopic, microscopic and macroscopic. This multilevel model is simulated for two scenarios of normal and faulty situations in a platoon of four IAVs.
