Precursor systems analyses of automated highway systems. Activity area E: Malfunction management and analysis. Resource materials. Final report, August 1993-November 1994
Increasing the safety of travel is a principal goal for an AHS and one of the baseline assumptions on which this study is based. Establishing the safety parameters and manner in which vehicle, highway, and human failures can be moderated to produce the minimum harm is likely to be one of the main drivers in selection of AHS architectures and system/vehicle implementations. A good understanding of the issues must be developed early in the program. The importance of this malfunction management and analysis task cannot be overestimated. This study seeks to increase safety by identifying and analyzing the possible malfunctions associated with an AHS, and developing strategies to handle these malfunctions.
