- Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) is a well-studied technology for forming string-stable vehicle platoons. Ensuring collision avoidance is particularly difficult in CACC due to the small desired inter-vehicle spacing. We propose a safety protocol preventing collisions in a provably-correct manner while still maintaining a small distance to the preceding vehicle, by utilizing communicated braking capabilities. In addition, the safety of the protocol is ensured despite possible communication failures. While our concept can be applied to any CACC system, we particularly consider a class of CACCs, where the platoon vehicles successively agree on a consensus behavior. Our safety protocol is evaluated on various scenarios using the CommonRoad benchmark suite.
