Development of Smart Cars Model for Autonomous Vehicles

This book project is born as a response to the will of researching the cooperation between an autonomous vehicles. To do so we made the smart car prototype for a platoon of autonomous smart cars which give a better research about the hardware and the software architectures for Smart Car systems employed within vehicle platooning.The smart car prototype for a platoon of autonomous smart cars which give a better research.An important part of this book involves quantifying the benefits of using the the constant spacing strategy and the constant time headway strategy in the platoon control application. String stability and Traffic capacity is used as a performance metric for the system.This book can be used as a reference for the field of mechatronics electric car automotive control systems real time system autonomous vehicle intelligent transportation systems.
