Abstract:

Performance of platoon can be improved by vehicular ad hoc networks and cooperative adaptive cruise control system. A platoon management protocol and a platoon management strategy were proposed which could be applied to platoon vehicles and free vehicles in large scales. A vehicle mobility model which was simulated by SUMO for platoon scenes was designed. Meanwhile, a clustering protocol was designed which was simulated by NS2 for analyzing communication performance in large scales of platoon vehicles and free vehicles. The results prove that platoon can improve performance of road capacity and communication for vehicular Ad Hoc networks.

Key words: platoon, intelligent drive model (IDM), vehicular ad hoc networks, clustering protocol, SUMO, NS2
