Abstract
A row running control system is a system that controls the running state of each vehicle by optimum control (LQ control) so that five vehicles, for example, run in a row. Acceleration instruction values for the succeeding four vehicles among the five vehicles are determined as values minimizing predetermined evaluation functions, and the evaluation functions are calculated based on the errors of the distances between the respective vehicles, relative speeds between the respective vehicles and the acceleration instruction values for the respective vehicles.
