“…Although these proposals manage to keep the channel access delay and packet loss at acceptable levels, most of them are designed to obtain benefits for generic vehicular ad hoc networks, and not for specific applications such as platooning. Some works focus on practical issues and their impacts on platooning performance, such as [11] and [12]. In [11] the impact of packet loss on the performance of platooning applications was evaluated, and in [12] antenna placement and its impact on the packet error rate is evaluated using real-world experiments.…”

Abstract-Platooning is both a challenging and rewarding application. Challenging since strict timing and reliability requirements are imposed by the distributed control system required to operate the platoon. Rewarding since considerable fuel reductions are possible. As platooning takes place in a vehicular ad hoc network, the use of IEEE 802.11p is close to mandatory. However, the 802.11p medium access method suffers from packet collisions and random delays. Most ongoing research suggests using TDMA on top of 802.11p as a potential remedy. However, TDMA requires synchronization and is not very flexible if the beacon frequency needs to be updated, the number of platoon member changes or if retransmissions for increased reliability are required. We therefore suggest a token-passing medium access method where the next token holder is selected based on beacon data age. This has the advantage of allowing beacons to be re-broadcasted in each beacon interval whenever time and bandwidth is available. We show that our token-based method is able to reduce the data age and increase reliability considerably compared to pure 802.11p.

Kavathekar & Chen (2011), on the other hand, have provided a survey on vehicle platooning and the relevant technical issues such as inter-vehicle communications, obstacle detection and collision avoidance; See also an interesting case study on vehicle platooning discussed in Bergenhem et al (2012).…”

“…Platooning applications rely on in-vehicle sensors, but also inter-vehicle communications, where, e.g., the leading vehicle sends information to the trailing vehicles to enable automatic control of the speed of the platoon [2]. Intra-platoon communication therefore requires delay-sensitive data to be transmitted and received with high reliability.…”

Abstract-Autonomous driving in road trains, a.k.a. platooning, may reduce fuel consumption considerably if the intervehicle distances are kept short. However, to do this, the intraplatoon communication must not only be reliable but also able to meet strict deadlines. While time-triggered messages are the foundation of most distributed control applications, platooning is likely to also require dissemination of event-driven messages. While much research work has focused on minimizing the age of periodic messages, state-of-the-art for disseminating eventdriven messages is to let all nodes repeat all messages and focus on mitigating broadcast storms. We derive an efficient message dissemination scheme based on relay selection which minimizes the probability of error at the intended receiver(s) for both unicast and broadcast, without degrading the performance of co-existing time-triggered messages. We present a full analysis of the resulting error probability and delay, when relayers, selected by our algorithm, are used to disseminate messages within a platoon. Numerical results indicate that the proposed relaying policy significantly enhances the reliability for a given delay.
