Abstract

The problem of conceiving a controller for networked systems is a challenging task
because of the complex interaction of its different components with each other and also with the environment around them. The design process becomes more difficult if large-scaled systems are involved. We propose reachability analysis of continuous systems to guarantee control requirements which because of the complexity of the problem could not be taken into account during the control design. As example we suggest a large-scalable platoon of trucks. We use our own support function implementation to assess the performances of the obtained controlled
platoon and then decide about the best performing controller.
