Open control platform based vehicle platooning system

Abstract

Complex control systems for autonomous vehicles require integration new control algorithms with a variety of different component technologies and resources. These components are often supported on different types of hardware platforms and operating systems and often must interact in a distributed environment. At the same time, the configuration changes and responds to unpredictable events during driving, such as removing from vehicle equipment failures. This paper describes an open software architecture, called the Open Control Platform(OCP), for integrating control technologies and resources with an application to a vehicle platooning control. © 2005 SICE.
