Claim 0:
1. A platooning control apparatus comprising a processor and further comprising:
a collision danger determining unit executed by the processor and configured to
when a host vehicle is a leading vehicle while the host vehicle and one or more following vehicles platoon, determine a possibility of collision of the host vehicle with a front vehicle, and
when the possibility of collision is determined, determine whether the host vehicle will collide with the front vehicle when the host vehicle is fully braked and whether one or more following vehicles in the platoon will collide with the host vehicle or another of the one or more following vehicles;

a collision avoidance determining unit executed by the processor and configured to determine whether it is possible to avoid collision of the host vehicle with the front vehicle in response to determining the possibility of collision;
a longitudinal deceleration profile generating unit executed by the processor and configured to generate a longitudinal deceleration profile for the host vehicle; and
a collision avoidance path generating unit executed by the processor and configured to generate a transverse path for avoiding collision for the host vehicle,
wherein the processor is configured to use the longitudinal deceleration profile and the transverse path to control the host vehicle.
