Abstract
This paper studies longitudinal control of mixed platoons containing human-driven vehicles and connected automated vehicles on multilane freeways. To account for stochastic lane changes, cut-ins, changing platoon formations, and uncertain human-driver parameters, it introduces a variable-order model with an event-triggering mechanism. The proposed controller combines offline design with online data-driven compensation: historical input-output data are mapped directly to compensate the offline control law without online model identification, and the mapping coefficients are obtained through a linear program. Simulations show improved computational efficiency and faster convergence compared with earlier data-driven model predictive and adaptive control methods.
