摘      要：Platoon control can reduce distance between vehicles to increase road capacity and ensure safety as *** paper presents a new decentralized control method,which considers that all vehicles in a platoon as a group of connected spring-damper *** only bidirectional local information is used in this method,the communications requirement among vehicles is significantly reduced;firstly the paper utilizes the decomposition of overlapping structure,then use LQ optimal control method to determine the parameters values of the spring-damper system,in order to gain nearly as great effects as the centralized optimal control;A large number of simulation experiments show the effectiveness and stability of the method.
