In recent years, formation control is studied actively. The area of fields that apply formation control covers, for instance, formation flight of the airplanes, multiple spacecrafts' Earth observation missions or very long focal length telescope concepts, and the traffic control of cars. In the case of spacecrafts, the benefits of applying formation concepts lie in the increasing redundancy by the functional decentralization and the broader spatial coverage by multiple orbiting objects, and so on. On the other hand, in the case of the ground car traffic, ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) concepts give a mitigation of traffic congestion and reduction of energy consumption. This paper discusses one of the difficulties in such formation control system, especially focusing on the decentralized formation control.
