Design and Stability Analysis of Vehicle Platooning Control in Zero-Trust Environment

Vehicle platoon control constitutes a pivotal aspect of intelligent transportation system development, most of the previous research on vehicle platoon control is carried out under mutual default trust, without considering the trust factor between interconnected vehicles, the trust factor between vehicles has a significant influence on the cooperative behavior of the vehicles, the way of information sharing, and the security of the vehicles, etc. In the actual traffic scenario, vehicle cooperative process is often In real transportation scenarios, the process of vehicle collaboration is often subject to various network attacks, so vehicle collaboration is always facing security threats. Zero-trust network is a kind of de-boundary network, which requires individuals in the network to “never trust and verify in real-time”, and vehicle platoon control can be placed in the zero-trust environment to avoid these problems. Firstly, we employ the C-F uncertainty inference method to assess the trust of nodes of interconnected vehicles. Secondly, we constructed a vehicle platoon dynamics model containing node trust, and based on this, we constructed a vehicle platoon dynamics model containing node trust, and designed a distributed controller. Finally, the effectiveness of the method proposed in this paper is verified by numerical simulation experiments.
