The vehicle platoon controller to be presented here plays a n important part in t h e latest generation of the decentralised, autonomous intersection management. I t is the executing instance in the intersection management and combines the results from different optimisations done by the vehicles on their way into the intersection in order to ensure optimum crossing of the intersection. To do so it must not only be platoon-stable b u t also have a n enlarged functionality in comparison to a conventional platoon controller.I n the following we will present all relevant aspects for the design of the platoon controller and its use in simulations of the intersection management.
