In this paper, we consider periodic communication delays within the connected autonomous vehicles platoon. Periodic signals are fundamentally simple to create, and in this study we analyze whether certain amplitude or frequencies can cause instability. This is important as we discover in this study, the classical method of replacing time-varying delays with constant delays does not capture the com...
