Distributed Output-Feedback Secure Platoon Control for Connected Vehicle Systems with Sensor-Actuator Attacks

This paper investigates the distributed secure platoon control (DSPC) problem for multi-vehicle systems with sensor and actuator attacks. To address malicious attacks on the actuator signals of the follower vehicles and sensor attacks on the output neighborhood synchronization error measurements, we developed a novel distributed adaptive output feedback platoon control protocols. Furthermore, state tracking errors for each vehicle are uniform ultimate boundedness (UUB), and the objective of vehicle platoon coordination is ensured in the presence of sensor and actuator attacks. Finally, a simulation study of a vehicle platoon is introduced to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
