Feasibility study of advanced technology hov systems. Volume 1. Phased implementation of longitudinal control systems. Research report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5693029
In the face of rising urban travel demand, there is strong public perception that urban mobility in California has seriously deteriorated and that solutions for urban traffic congestion problems are urgently needed. Simply constructing more and more miles of roadways is no longer an acceptable option. Many researchers believe that advanced vehicle longitudinal control systems provide an opportunity to bring about very significant increases in the highway capacity. Longitudinal control systems range from driver-assisted intelligent cruise control systems (ICCS's) to fully automated systems with close-formation platooning. The objectives of this study are to identify strategies for early deployment of longitudinal control technologies on the highway, and to evaluate potential impacts of these strategies on traffic operation, highway capacity, and traffic accidents.
