String Instability in Classes of Linear Time Invariant Formation Control With Limited Communication Range (2010, methodology): “In this case, it is well known that the system is string unstable (see for example [12]), and we briefly repeat some analysis of this string instability”
String Stability and a Delay-Based Spacing Policy for Vehicle Platoons Subject to Disturbances (2017, background): “In fact, it has been shown in [30] that disturbance attenuation cannot be obtained for any linear controller that only uses relative measurements with respect to the preceding vehicle i − 1 for the control of vehicle i.”
Control of Connected and Automated Vehicles: State of the Art and Future Challenges (2018, background): “However, disturbances acting on the platoon leader may still be ampliﬁed in the downstream vehicles; this phenomenon is known as string instability [140, 141].”
Distributed control of positive systems (2011, positive): “It is a well known fact that information about the leading vehicle position can be used to achieve string stability [20,12], but the approach presented here gives a simple way to extend the argument to heterogeneous vehicle strings and more general communication topologies.”
Formation control: a review and a new consideration (2005, methodology): “This string instability can be corrected by using a variable spacing policy [11].”
Robustness Analysis and Controller Synthesis of Homogeneous Vehicular Platoons With Bounded Parameter Uncertainty (2017, background): “(2004) [12], Liang and Peng (2004) [19], Middleton and Braslavsky (2010) [16], and Ploeg et al.”
Distributed Consensus Strategy for Platooning of Vehicles in the Presence of Time-Varying Heterogeneous Communication Delays (2015, methodology): “Transfer functions Ti(s) are the well-known complementary sensitivity functions, which were derived for a vehicle platoon in [38] and [41].”
Controller Synthesis for String Stability of Vehicle Platoons (2014, background): “stable behavior [5], which can be loosely characterized as the attenuation of the effects of disturbances along the platoon.”
A Survey on Platoon-Based Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems (2016, background): “[74] analyzed disturbance propagation in a platoon and showed error amplification of intra-platoon spacing”
String-Stable CACC Design and Experimental Validation: A Frequency-Domain Approach (2010, neutral): “a platoon [14], [15], [17], [23]–[26].”

Dynamical Modeling and Distributed Control of Connected and Automated Vehicles: Challenges and Opportunities (2017, background): “J. Karl Hedrick received the B.S. degree in engineering mechanics from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA, in 1966 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in aeronautical and astronautical engineering from Stanford University, USA, in 1970 and 1971, respectively.”
Practical String Stability of Platoon of Adaptive Cruise Control Vehicles (2011, background): “The spacing errors have most of their energy at the region of low frequencies, which is also called the key region of the string stability [5], [33]‐[ 35 ].”
Distributed Model Predictive Control for Heterogeneous Vehicle Platoons Under Unidirectional Topologies (2016, background): “Since then, many other issues on the platoon control have been discussed, such as the selection of spacing policies [6], [7], the influence of communication topology [8]–[10], and the impact of dynamic heterogeneity [11], [12].”
