Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study focuses on the velocity control of vehicles in the vehicle platoon by using multi-leader vehicle following models. The conclusions of this study are summarized as follows.
Firstly, the model parameters of the multi-leader vehicle following models are determined from the stability analysis of the model and the computer simulations for solving the optimization problem. Secondly, the velocity control model is applied for the vehicle platoon simulation of LEGO Mindstorm NXT vehicle robots in order to compare the computer simulation with the experiments. Finally, the results are described in four papers for the international journals and 27 papers for the proceedings of the international and the domestic conferences.
