Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:253944
This report documents the three Rockwell Precursor Systems Analyses of Automated Highway Systems tasks of Lateral and Longitudinal Control Analysis, Malfunction Management and Analysis, and Vehicle Operations Analysis. The overall goal of the Lateral and Longitudinal Control Analysis task included performing system operational analyses in terms of safety and capacity and identifying issues and risks regarding the fundamental operations and maneuvers of vehicle control in a fully automated highway environment. The overall goal of the Vehicle Operations Analysis task was to identify issues and risks associated with a fully automated AHS vehicle. The primary issues that were addressed were related to vehicle-infrastructure functional decomposition, performance requirements, fail-safety and criticality, communications, self-monitoring and self-diagnosis technology, and overall vehicle management.
