Intelligent Control of Inter Distance in Convoy of Vehicles Using Model-Free Control and Algebraic Filter

Road accidents are the leading cause of death; this increase is usually due to speeding.For road safety, intelligent systems have been designed to keep a constant speed and a safe distance between vehicles in a convoy.This article focuses on the synthesis of an interdistance control system using intelligent methods and algorithms.The main idea presented in this article is to implement a model-free control for physical model "spring-damper" known as intelligent control based on an algebraic filter.Our comparative analysis extends beyond comparing the use of a simple derivative and an algebraic filter for intelligent control.We also take into account the effect of noise directly affecting the model's behaviour to demonstrate the robustness of our approach.Through MATLAB simulations, we highlight that our approach exhibits better robustness and stable tracking in the interdistance control system.
