Abstract
A platooning control method includes: determining whether a preceding vehicle, which is located in front of a host vehicle, has entered a slope section when a plurality of vehicles are moving on a road, acquiring longitudinal distance information between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle using a Dead-Reckoning (DR) sensor of the host vehicle upon determining that the preceding vehicle has entered the slope section, and performing platooning control by the host vehicle with the plurality of vehicles in the slope section using the longitudinal distance information acquired by the DR sensor and speed information.
