Precursor systems analyses of automated highway systems. Executive summary. Volume 1. Resource materials. Final report, September 1993-February 1995
The Automated Highway System (AHS) challenge, as presented by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is to conduct analyses of today`s to identify strategies and technologies which will improve the nation`s transportation system in terms of effectivess and level of service. This can be achieved by improvements in safety, efficiency, user comfort, and reduction of environmental impact. The goal of this team`s Precursor Systems Analyses (PSA) was to define total system concepts to meet that challenge. This report addresses the nine activity areas of Automated Check In, Automated Check Out, Lateral and Longitudinal Control Analysis, Malfunction Management and Analysis, Commercial Vehicle and Transit AHS Analysis, Entry/Exit Implementation Strategy, Vehicle Operational Analysis, AHS Safety Issues, and Knowledge Based Systems and Learning Methods for AHS.
