Design and Development of Smart Cars Model for Autonomous Vehicles in a Platooning

The paper presents a new car model prototype design which can be driven in platooning. After each part is tested in real time separately they are then integrated together to obtain the car system prototype and the C++ language is used to program the hardware component system to do its mission. This controls the car behavior which is developed in a real-time operating system as if it can become an autonomous vehicle for navigation purposes capable of avoiding collision as well as keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead on the road. The experimental results show the efficiency of this car model we developed. Further, the implementations on each car are made at low-cost, a fact which represents an advantage.
