Abstract This work presents a novel cooperative merging algorithm for lane reduction scenarios using decentralized control. A smart choice of a suitable formation and sliding mode techniques are used to decrease the inter-vehicle distances safely without communication between the vehicles. Simulation results confirm that the proposed topology selection and longitudinal control are capable of increasing the traffic flow without the need for communication or a centralized supervision.
