Abstract: This paper reviews the important role of vehicle platooning in road transportation, analyzing key aspects including modeling, communication, and control strategies. It provides a detailed examination of following and lane-changing models, emphasizing their significance in autonomous platooning control, while also identifying potential future directions for model development. The paper explores key communication technologies like Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication and 5 G, discussing their applications in platooning systems. In terms of control strategies, the paper delves into both vertical and horizontal control methods for platooning, evaluating the stability of control mechanisms. This review aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of platooning technology and presents valuable insights to guide future research and development in this field.
