description The automation of road vehicles has become a necessity to improve the efficiency and safety of this system. In a vehicle formation it is important to maintain a safety distance between the vehicles. The control of a vehicle spacing distance and longitudinal velocity can be achieved through the implementation of a model-based predictive controller. This implementation of a cooperative adaptive cruise control allows the access of another vehicle state information through vehicular communication technology and promote state prediction and ultimately system stability. The optimization algorithm performs the computation of the control input in a control horizon window and ensures that the spacing error takes only positive values. The results of the proposed controller are evaluated through the computational tool Simulink in the two-vehicle platoon. The controller is implemented in the precedent vehicle. To assess the performance of the proposed controller different control parameters and constraints were used.
