This paper investigates a bidirectional vehicular platoon control problem where a disturbance observer is designed. A useful distributed Sliding-Mode Control (SMC) law is designed with a disturbance estimation for the following vehicles, which can communicate with its immediate predecessor and successor. By applying a coupled sliding-mode surface approach and Lyapunov stability theory, the spacing error of each following vehicles can be driven to the proposed sliding-mode surface in finite-time and converge to zero ultimately. Furthermore, the string stability is also demonstrated analytically by choosing a suitable coupled coefficient. Finally, simulation results show the effectiveness of the presented control law in addressing disturbance.
