This paper investigates the multi-agent system leader following consensus problem and its application in the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) field. The leader agent provides the desired reference trajectory, and the other follower agents operate cooperatively with the leader under the predefined motion state constraints. The considered agents are second-order nonlinear systems with parameter uncertainties and unknown disturbances. To achieve cooperative operation of the system, a state-constraints multi-agent cooperative adaptive control (SMCAC) method is given for the follower agent. The barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) is constructed to analyze the performance of the method in terms of error convergence and state constraints. The proposed method is then applied to the control of a multi-train system under the train-to-train communication topology. Numerical simulations on a five-train system are given to demonstrate the theoretical analysis.
