Summary:
In this study, we consider timing synchronization methods over groups of vehicles, which is important in intervehicle communications. Here, we clarify whether a proper synchronization is always realized and this is stably maintained, analytically and numerically, when the Imai and Suzuki’s synchronization algorithm is applied. As a result, it is shown that the proper synchronization is stably obtained for the case of two groups of vehicles, but it is not always obtained for three groups of vehicles. Also, as a byproduct, a refined synchronization algorithm is constructed, realizing better synchronization ability.
