title = "Sliding Mode Based Platooning: Theory and Applications",
abstract = "This chapter discusses sliding-mode-based approaches for longitudinal control of vehicles. In the platooning applications, several vehicles are aligned in a string for economic reasons, e.g., for the sake of saving fuel. Each vehicle has an immediate impact on the followers leading to dynamic phenomena along the string. The so-called string stable controllers based on sliding-mode controllers are the focus of this work. In addition, position error overshoots have been eliminated, and thus dynamic effects leading to collisions can be avoided. The controllers have been implemented on a testbed consisting of small-scale vehicles, and experimental results are shown.",
