This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18491230 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR AUTOMATED VEHICLE PLATOON DRIVING
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for automated vehicle driving control in a platoon includes obtaining first operational parameters of a first vehicle, including at least a first measured braking performance of the first vehicle, obtaining second operational parameters of a second vehicle, including at least a first measured braking performance of the second vehicle, determining a platoon sequence according to the operational parameters by assigning whichever of the first vehicle and the second vehicle that has a lesser measured braking performance as a lead vehicle in the platoon sequence, and assigning the other of the first vehicle and the second vehicle as a follower vehicle in the platoon sequence, initiating a platoon sequence driving route, and controlling automated driving of the follower vehicle according to tracking of the lead vehicle, wherein the automated driving includes automated steering control, automated acceleration and automated braking based on tracked movement of the lead vehicle.
