In this paper, we consider a network of vehicles exchanging information among themselves with the intension of achieving a specified polygonal formation. A stochastic model for information transmission and reception is considered, allowing for the random breaking of the communication links among the vehicles. The network achieves the formation through decentralized feedback control, which is constructed from the available information. Several information flow laws are considered in order to improve the performance of the vehicle network.
