 raffic flow efficiency and safety ca
 n be significantly improved via Coop
 erative Adaptive Cruise Control (CAC
 C) of vehicular platoons. One critic
 al property in vehicle platooning is
  string stability, which is essentia
 l for ensuring both safety and effic
 iency. String stability serves as a 
 key indicator of how efficiently dis
 turbances are attenuated as they pro
 pagate upstream in a platoon. Howeve
 r, the benefits of string (and vehic
 le) stability may be compromised in 
 the presense of delays in actuation,
  sensing, or communication.\n This r
 esearch aims to develop predictor-ba
 sed CACC designs to compensate the n
 egative effects of long actuation an
 d communication delays in vehicular 
 platoons. The proposed control desig
 n framework is applied to heterogene
 ous vehicular platoons, where each v
 ehicle’s dynamics are modeled by a t
 hird-order linear system with input 
 delay. For each design we develop, w
 e establish vehicle stability, strin
 g stability, and tracking of the des
 ired speed/spacing. The proofs of in
 dividual vehicle stability, string s
 tability, and regulation rely mainly
  on employment of an input-output ap
 proach on the frequency/time domains
 . We present consistent simulation r
 esults, including validations with r
 eal traffic data. We further provide
  experimental validation results, in
  a pair of vehicles, of one of our p
 redictor-based CACC designs.\n Meeti
