We propose a longitudinal and lateral controller that stabilizes a system of several vehicles as well as a collision avoidance mechanism. The stability of our approach is supported by a mathematical analysis as well as realistic simulations.intelligent vehiclesdistributed controlgraph theoryLocal Graph-based Distributed Control for Safe Highway Platooningtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
