This paper presents new control strategies for the three longitudinal maneuvers: merge, split and decelerate to change lanes. The approach presented is intended to improve the robustness of these maneuvers to such factors as the deceleration of the lead platoon and variable acceleration capability. The paper presents a merge maneuver in which the velocity of the trail platoon never exceeds the maximum safe velocity. The control approach can be applied to the other maneuvers to ensure that they never result in a collision.
