This application discloses a vehicle cooperative following method, which establishes a
wireless communication connection with the leading vehicle to provide a channel for
data transmission; then, through this connection, it receives the leading vehicle's periodically transmitted location information, obtaining the dynamic
location data source of the leading vehicle; next, it displays the leading vehicle's location information in real time on the
local map interface of the following vehicle, enabling the driver of the following vehicle to obtain an intuitive and continuous spatial location
perception; finally, based on the real-time location of the leading vehicle and the current location of the following vehicle, it automatically plans and generates a driving
route and navigation guidance to the location of the leading vehicle. This method creatively combines
direct communication between vehicles, dynamic
location sharing, and real-
time path planning to form a closed-loop cooperative navigation process, enabling the following vehicle to automatically and accurately follow the leading vehicle, effectively solving the problem of the following vehicle easily getting lost due to obstructed vision and inconvenient communication in convoy travel, and improving the safety and overall stability of convoy travel.
