Contribution

It presents a novel bargaining game approach for cooperative cruise control based on predictive control theory and real-time decision-making.

Findings

Successful implementation in hardware-in-the-loop system

Effective synchronization between vehicles achieved

Potential for improved traffic flow and safety

Abstract

This paper considers a cooperative cruise control problem from a predictive control perspective. Online decision-making is used to be executed during the driving process based on the information obtained from the network. We formalize a synchronization problem approach from a predictive control theory using bargaining games to find an operating agreement between the vehicles. Finally, we test these results in an emulation environment in a hardware-in-the-loop system.
