An online data-driven predictive control method was proposed, which constructs an equivalent linear model of the controlled plant at each discrete time step of the closed-loop operation, and a recursive least squares algorithm with a dynamically adjusted forgetting factor based on parameter identification residuals was developed to estimate the model's time-varying parameters online. Furthermore, a distributed predictive control strategy was proposed based on a predecessor-leader-follower communication topology. The strategy decomposes the global optimization problem of the vehicle platoon into local subproblems for each follower vehicle, enabling parallel computation and improving solution efficiency. Co-simulation results using TruckSim and Matlab/Simulink demonstrate that the proposed data-driven model accurately captures vehicle dynamics across time-varying environments, and the designed distributed controller ensures effective longitudinal tracking and lateral lane-keeping performance of the platoon.
