Stability and performance analysis with double-graph model of vehicle formations

Zhipu Jin and Richard M. Murray
2003 American Control Conference

In this paper, we treat the string stability as a kind of performance of a linear multi-vehicle system with acyclic
formation structures. By using a double-graph model, we can describe information flows and formulate the string stability. This paper provides a systematic way to design the local controller and the system control strategy with the performance constrains. We also present the connection failure tolerance problem and give some essential conclusions.
