Platooning has emerged as a promising approach to enhancing the fuel efficiency of vehicles, but determining the inter-vehicular distance that achieves the minimum consumption remains a challenge. In this article, an algorithm is proposed that employs extremum seeking control integrated with the prescribed performance control technique to find the optimal inter-vehicular distance. The algorithm utilizes the predecessor-following architecture to track the desired distance while minimizing the estimated aerodynamic drag coefficient to seek the optimal value. To estimate the coefficient, an observer is designed. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach. The proposed algorithm exhibits a significant improvement over existing methods that do not incorporate prescribed performance. Consequently, our scheme provides a valuable contribution to the field of platooning and paves the way for future research directions. |
