Aspects of classical information theory, such as rate distortion theory, investigate how to encode and decode information from an independently identically distributed source so that the asymptotic distortion rate between the source and its quantized representation is minimized. However, in most natural dynamics, the source state is highly corrupted by disturbances, and the measurement contains the noise. In recent coder-estimator sequence is developed for state estimation problem based on observations transmitted with finite communication capacity constraints. Unlike classical estimation problems where the observation is a continuous process corrupted by additive noises, the condition is that the observations must be coded and transmitted over a digital communication channel with finite capacity. However, coder-estimator sequence does not provide such a quantitative analysis as a variance for estimation error. In this paper, under the assumption that the estimation error is Gaussian distribution, a variance for coder-estimation sequence is proposed and its fitness is evaluated through simulations with a simple example.

In this paper, a platoon merging is considered as a remote-controlled system with the state represented by a stochastic process. In this system, it becomes to encounter situations where a single decision maker controls a large number of subsystems, and observation and control signals are sent over a communication channel with finite capacity and significant transmission delays. Unlike classical estimation problem in which the observation is a continuous process corrupted by additive noise, there is a constraint that the observation must be coded and transmitted over a digital communication channel with finite capaci쇼. A recursive coder-estimator sequence is a state estimation scheme based on observations transmitted with finite communication capacity constraint. Using the coder-estimator sequence, the remote control station designs a feedback controller. In this paper, we introduce a stochastic model for the lead vehicle in a platoon of vehicles considering the angle between a road surface and a horizontal plane as a stochastic process. The simulation results show that the inter-vehicle distance and the deviation from the desired inter-vehicle distance are well regulated.

In this paper a platoon merging control system is considered as a remotely located system with state represented by a stochastic process. in the system it is common to encounter situations where a single decision maker controls a large number of subsystems and observation and control signals are sent over a communication channel with finite capacity and significant transmission delays. Unlike a classical estimation problem where the observation is a continuous process corrupted by additive noise there is a constraint that the observation must be coded and transmitted over a digital communication channel with fintie capacity. A recursive coder-estimator sequence is a state estimation scheme based on observations transmitted with finite communication capacity constraint. in this paper we introduce a stochastic model for the lead vehicle in a platoon of vehicles in a lane considering the angle between the road surface and a horizontal plane as a stochastic process. In order to merge two platoons the lead vehicle of the following platoon is controlled by a remote control station. Using the observation transmitted over communication channel the remote control station designs the feedback controller. The simulation results show that the intervehicle spacings and the deviations from the desired intervehicle spacing are well regulated.
