This paper considers a string of vehicles where the local control law usesthe states of the vehicle's immediate predecessor and follower. The couplingtowards the preceding vehicle can be chosen different to the coupling towardsthe following vehicle, which is often referred to as an asymmetricbidirectional string. Further, the asymmetry for the velocity coupling can bechosen differently to the asymmetry in the position coupling. It isinvestigated how the effect of disturbance on the control errors in the stringdepends on the string length. It is shown, that in case of symmetric positioncoupling and asymmetric velocity coupling, linear scaling can be achieved. Forsymmetric interaction in both states, i.e., in symmetric bidirectional strings,the errors scale quadratically in the number of vehicles. When the coupling inposition is asymmetric, exponential scaling may occur or the system might evenbecome unstable. The paper thus gives a comprehensive overview of theachievable performance in linear, asymmetric, bidirectional platoons. Theresults reveal that symmetry in the position coupling and asymmetry in velocitycoupling qualitatively improves the performance of the string. Extensivenumerical results illustrate the theoretical findings.
