The consensus problem of general linear multi-vehicle systems with communication delays is investigated. Firstly, a model predictive control (MPC) method is proposed to compensate for communication delays occurring among controllers and actuators, controllers and sensors, as well as neighboring vehicles. Secondly, in order to conserve resources and reduce communication frequency and control update frequency among vehicles, a dynamic event-triggered model predictive control method is developed by integrating MPC with event-triggering mechanisms through differential equation-based dynamic term configurations. By using this proposed control algorithm, consensus achievement is confirmed under communication delays and system stability is guaranteed through theoretical analysis. Finally, the results of numerical simulation experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Compared with periodic triggering, this method reduces triggering frequency by 76.4% and achieves lower triggering frequency by 31.4% than static event-triggered approaches, and communication and computational resources of the system are effectively saved.
