It is worth mentioning that a fixed network topology or a regularly switching intervehicle communication topology is hardly the case in practice since the intervehicle connections in VANET may be varying or switching depending on circumstances and time. This chapter investigates sampled‐data control of vehicular platoons with random switching topologies, communication delays, and external disturbance. It aims to establish a new framework for vehicular platoon control such that each vehicle can maintain a desired speed and keep a prespecified constant intervehicle spacing. To describe the varying information flow, the chapter introduces a Markovian chain to represent the dynamical switching of communication topologies in the platoon. Then, using the theory of the Markovian jumping system with time delay, a set of sufficient conditions is derived to guarantee that the platooning tracking errors (i.e. errors in spacing, velocity, and acceleration) are mean‐square exponentially stabilized.
