Effects of communication on the performance of cooperative adaptive cruise control

Abstract

Advancement 5G communication technology paves the way for inter-vehicle communication like V2V or V2I. These technologies gave direction for future transportation system such as Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC). In this article, we will analyse and show the effects of network issues on the performance of individual vehicle and CACC. We will do sensitivity analysis for delay variation. We will study time delay approximation technique and validate with the original system. Numerical simulation is done in MATLAB and Python environment to validate the theoretical analysis.
