Popis: We consider suboptimal decentralized controllerdesign for subsystems with interconnected dynamics and costfunctions. A systematic design methodology is presented overthe class of linear quadratic regulators (LQR) for chain graphs.The methodology is evaluated on heavy duty vehicle platooningwith physical constraints. A simulation and frequency analysisis performed. The results show that the decentralized controllergives good tracking performance and a robust system. We alsoshow that the design methodology produces a string stablesystem for an arbitrary number of vehicles in the platoon, ifthe vehicle configurations and the LQR weighting parametersare identical for the considered subsystems. © 2011 IEEE.
