In this study, the authors present a testbed platform for realising cooperative adaptive cruise control enabled by LTE‐V (LTE‐vehicle). The platform is developed on a platoon of vehicles, each of which is equipped with a suite of on‐board sensing and computing devices for environment perception, as well as an LTE‐V transceiver for high‐performance vehicle‐to‐vehicle (V2V) communication. The hardware architecture and software architecture, especially the perception and control methods, of the platform are described. Field experiments in different road conditions are conducted to verify the feasibility of the authors’ platform. The results also show the potential of V2V communications via LTE‐V in terms of improving the sensing capability of individual vehicle's on‐board sensors.
