This paper presents the implementation and comparison of nonlinear controll
ers in the longitudinal control of cars for platooning. Based on the previo
us implementation of adaptive sliding mode controller; a dynamic sliding mo
de controller and a dynamic back-stepping multiple surface controller have
been implemented. These three controllers have been compared with the test
results. Realtime run shows that each controller has its own characteristic
s. Emphasis has been put on the dynamic back-stepping multiple surface cont
roller.
