An apparatus for a global platooning controller of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising a transceiver module configured to transmit information related to control commands to one or more local platooning controllers associated with one or more vehicles, and receive feedback information from the one or more local platooning controllers; and a control module configured to control the transceiver module, determine information related to an overall signalling load for the one or more local platooning controllers based on the feedback information from the one or more local platooning controllers, determine information related to control commands for the one or more local platooning controllers based on the information related to the overall signalling load and based on the feedback information, and provide information related to a relation between a feedback information transmission rate and deviations between control information provided with the information related to the control commands and an actual state of a vehicle associated with a local platooning controller to the one or more local platooning controllers, wherein the feedback information is received from the one or more local platooning controllers according to a feedback information transmission rate that is based on a deviation between control information and the actual state of the vehicle associated with the local platooning controller, the control information being received, by the respective local platooning controller, with the respective information related to the control command. a transceiver module configured to transmit information related to control commands to one or more local platooning controllers associated with one or more vehicles, and receive feedback information from the one or more local platooning controllers; and transmit information related to control commands to one or more local platooning controllers associated with one or more vehicles, and receive feedback information from the one or more local platooning controllers; and a control module configured to control the transceiver module, determine information related to an overall signalling load for the one or more local platooning controllers based on the feedback information from the one or more local platooning controllers, determine information related to control commands for the one or more local platooning controllers based on the information related to the overall signalling load and based on the feedback information, and provide information related to a relation between a feedback information transmission rate and deviations between control information provided with the information related to the control commands and an actual state of a vehicle associated with a local platooning controller to the one or more local platooning controllers, control the transceiver module, determine information related to an overall signalling load for the one or more local platooning controllers based on the feedback information from the one or more local platooning controllers, determine information related to control commands for the one or more local platooning controllers based on the information related to the overall signalling load and based on the feedback information, and provide information related to a relation between a feedback information transmission rate and deviations between control information provided with the information related to the control commands and an actual state of a vehicle associated with a local platooning controller to the one or more local platooning controllers, wherein the feedback information is received from the one or more local platooning controllers according to a feedback information transmission rate that is based on a deviation between control information and the actual state of the vehicle associated with the local platooning controller, the control information being received, by the respective local platooning controller, with the respective information related to the control command.
