A method for controlling a vehicle platoon comprising at least two vehicles (1.1, 1.2) forming at least one vehicle pair, wherein the at least one vehicle pair comprises a first vehicle (1.1) and a second vehicle (1.2) and the first vehicle (1.1) is arranged immediately preceding the second vehicle (1.2) in the vehicle platoon, wherein the at least two vehicles (1.1, 1.2) of the vehicle platoon are each formed with a communication system configured to send and/or receive information by means of vehicle-to-vehicle communication and a measuring device configured to detect values for at least one kinematic state parameter, and the second vehicle (1.2) performs a feedback control of the controller of the second vehicle (1.2) taking into account values for at least one kinematic control parameter sent by the first vehicle (1.1) and received by the second vehicle (1.1) with the aim of adapting the values for at least one kinematic state parameter measured by means of the at least one measuring device of the second vehicle (1.2) of the at least one pair of vehicles to kinematic targets, and in the method (a) at least one maximum delay time for vehicle-to-vehicle communication is determined such that at least one cooperative-adaptive-cruise-control (CACC) model-based condition for maintaining platoon stability is satisfied, taking into account kinematic targets and vehicle-specific control parameters, wherein the delay time corresponds to a time distance with which vehicle-to-vehicle information can be sent, and (b) the transmission resources for the vehicle-to-vehicle communication between the first vehicle (1.1) and the second (1.2) vehicle are determined, wherein the transmission resources are formed with at least one data transmission session taking into account the at least one maximum delay time, (c) and by means of the transmission resources for the vehicle-to-vehicle communication, the values for the at least one kinematic control parameter are transmitted as information with a time distance smaller than the at least one maximum delay time by the first vehicle (1.1) of the at least one vehicle pair and can be received by the second vehicle (1.2) of the at least one vehicle pair. wherein the at least two vehicles (1.1, 1.2) of the vehicle platoon are each formed with a communication system configured to send and/or receive information by means of vehicle-to-vehicle communication and a measuring device configured to detect values for at least one kinematic state parameter, and the second vehicle (1.2) performs a feedback control of the controller of the second vehicle (1.2) taking into account values for at least one kinematic control parameter sent by the first vehicle (1.1) and received by the second vehicle (1.1) with the aim of adapting the values for at least one kinematic state parameter measured by means of the at least one measuring device of the second vehicle (1.2) of the at least one pair of vehicles to kinematic targets, and in the method (a) at least one maximum delay time for vehicle-to-vehicle communication is determined such that at least one cooperative-adaptive-cruise-control (CACC) model-based condition for maintaining platoon stability is satisfied, taking into account kinematic targets and vehicle-specific control parameters, wherein the delay time corresponds to a time distance with which vehicle-to-vehicle information can be sent, and (b) the transmission resources for the vehicle-to-vehicle communication between the first vehicle (1.1) and the second (1.2) vehicle are determined, wherein the transmission resources are formed with at least one data transmission session taking into account the at least one maximum delay time, (c) and by means of the transmission resources for the vehicle-to-vehicle communication, the values for the at least one kinematic control parameter are transmitted as information with a time distance smaller than the at least one maximum delay time by the first vehicle (1.1) of the at least one vehicle pair and can be received by the second vehicle (1.2) of the at least one vehicle pair. (a) at least one maximum delay time for vehicle-to-vehicle communication is determined such that at least one cooperative-adaptive-cruise-control (CACC) model-based condition for maintaining platoon stability is satisfied, taking into account kinematic targets and vehicle-specific control parameters, wherein the delay time corresponds to a time distance with which vehicle-to-vehicle information can be sent, and (b) the transmission resources for the vehicle-to-vehicle communication between the first vehicle (1.1) and the second (1.2) vehicle are determined, wherein the transmission resources are formed with at least one data transmission session taking into account the at least one maximum delay time, (c) and by means of the transmission resources for the vehicle-to-vehicle communication, the values for the at least one kinematic control parameter are transmitted as information with a time distance smaller than the at least one maximum delay time by the first vehicle (1.1) of the at least one vehicle pair and can be received by the second vehicle (1.2) of the at least one vehicle pair.
