Convoys composed of autonomous vehicles could improve the transportation and freight industries in several ways. One of the avenues of improvement is in fuel efficiency, where the vehicles maintain a close following distance to each other in order to reduce air resistance by way of the draft effect. While close following distances improve fuel efficiency, they also reduce both the margin of safety and the system's tolerance to disturbances in relative position. The system's tolerance to disturbances is known as string stability, where the error magnitude either grows or decays as it propagates rearward through the convoy. One of the major factors in a system's string stability is its delay in sending state updates to other vehicles, the most pertinent being a hard braking maneuver. Both external sensors and vehicle-to-vehicle communication standards have relatively long delays between peer vehicle state changes and the information being actionable by the ego vehicle. The system presented here, called the Convoy Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (Convoy VANET), was designed to reliably propagate emergency event messages with low delay while maintaining reasonable channel efficiency. It accomplishes this using a combination of several techniques, notably relative position-based retransmission delays. Our results using Network Simulator 3 (ns3) show the system propagating messages down a 20-vehicle convoy in less than 100 ms even with more than a 35% message loss between vehicles that are not immediately adjacent. These simulation results show the potential for this kind of system in situations where emergency information must be disseminated quickly in low-reliability wireless environments.
