Abstract
The vehicular platoon using Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) is a potential emerging technique. It can let the following vehicles reach a higher dynamic response by utilizing the acceleration of preceding vehicles that is transmitted by vehicular wireless communication. However, there naturally is wireless communication delay because of the complex road traffic scenarios. Several useful control strategies were designed to compensate the communication delay. While, we found that most of those strategies need the maximum delay boundary, so that the delay-compensating methods can be validated when the communication delay beyond the boundary. Therefore, we propose an analytical model to formulate the communication delay boundary. The boundary is derived by considering the criterion of string stability. Comprehensive simulations are preformed to estimate the validation of analytical model. Artificial and realistic scenarios are used in the simulations, which include mixed frequents and NGSIM data. Results show that the practical test is consistent with the theory model of communication delay boundary.
