Abstract

Tactile internet is the technique which reads the information from the object that can be controlled by humans and response within 1 millisecond. It is based on the haptic (touch) sense that will connect humans with unknown environment. The haptic (touch) sense will establish an interface between human and computer named as Human System Interface (HSI). It is applicable in self-driving car, home system control, medical treatment or diagnosis etc. Tactile with 5G technology provide high speed response with very low end to end delay. This technology helps in communicating simultaneously with more number of devices. It is ultra-reliable and ultra-responsive network. Vehicle Platoon is a group of vehicles that travels in close proximity to one another, nose-to-tail, at highway speeds. A lead vehicle is followed by a number of other vehicles that closely match their speed and exercises to the lead vehicle. It is mainly used in automation industry to regulate the speed, acceleration with less fuel consumption and pollutions. It increases the safety and comfort and reduces the traffic congestions. Vehicle platoon might be one of the technological benefits of self-driving (autonomous) vehicles. The proposed work is mainly about vehicle platooning using tactile internet with 5G technologies. Two techniques are used for platooning,(i) radar based techniques which maintain the distance between two vehicles and (ii) Inter Vehicle Communication (IVC) which manage the entire platoons for providing the effectiveness of the platoon management algorithm and protocol. Using these techniques, it is easy to create, manage and split the platoons. The tools used for the process are Veins environment which uses SUMO for road traffic simulation and OMNET++ for network simulation. This leads to improve traffic safety and avoids traffic congestion.
