HDV Platooning with Minimized Communication Delay in VANET

To improve the highway safety and throughput between vehicles in road traffic VANET are formed. Through CACC the inter vehicle communications are achieved to meet the control challenges in cooperative environment. Platoon management algorithms were formed to route the participating vehicles. This paper addresses the communication drawbacks between the vehicles in platoon. This paper proposes two topologies in CACC to minimize the communication delay. This paper proposes two topologies as One Vehicle Look – Ahead and Two Vehicle Look – Ahead with CACC. More than two vehicles are participating in the platoon and their string stability has been taken for performance evaluation. Performance analyses were made to five vehicles to identify the suitable one.
