Abstract

This paper studies the cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) problem of connected vehicles with unknown nonlinear dynamics. Different from the present literature on CACC, data-driven feedforward and optimal feedback control policies are developed by global adaptive dynamic programming (GADP). Due to the presence of nonvanishing disturbance, a modified version of GADP is presented. Interestingly, the developed policy is guaranteed to globally stabilize the vehicular platoon system, and is robust to unmeasurable nonvanishing disturbance. Numerical simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the developed approach.
