The application of wireless communication to platooning brings such challenges as information delay and varieties interaction topologies. To compensate for the delay, a state predictor based control strategy is proposed, which transmits future nodes instead current values. Based on closed loop dynamics platoon with feedback controller, decoupling presented analysis design system lower order by adopting eigenvalue decomposition topological matrix. A numerical method LMI (Linear Matrix Inequality) provided find required robust performance controller. Moreover, influence studied theoretically it found that tolerable maximum determined eigenvalue. effectiveness proposed validated several comparative simulations under various conditions other methods.
