Abstract

The present work tackles the H-infinity Packet-based control design in the autonomous vehicle platoon (AVP) problem based on digital redesign of a linear parameter-varying system under the assumption of the presence of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The main novelty in this paper is the parameter-dependent modeling and the added assumption of DoS attacks during the control design process. This assumption is particularly relevant in the AVP problem since all the vehicles exchange data using an autonomous vehicle network (AVN), and those networks can be susceptible to attack from malicious agents. To illustrate the viability of the proposed approach some simulations are provided considering the time-invariant model of the AVP, and the parameter-varying model with and without the presence of DoS attacks.
