Risk of collision and detachment in vehicle platooning: Time-delay–induced limitations and tradeoffs

C Somarakis, Y Ghaedsharaf… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We quantify the value-at-risk of intervehicle collision and detachment for a class of platoons,
in presence of communication time-delay and stochastic noise. Closed-form expressions for …

Risk of Cascading Failures in Time-Delayed Vehicle Platooning

G Liu, C Somarakis, N Motee - 2021 60th IEEE Conference on …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We develop a systemic risk framework to explore cascading failures in networked control
systems. A time-delayed version of the vehicle platooning problem is used as a benchmark …
