OSTI ID:91592
The objective of this task was to evaluate the effect of alternative propulsion vehicles (APVs) on the Automated Highway Systems(AHS). This entailed research and literature reviews, in-house knowledge and interviews with experts in applicable fields. Background information on APVs were gathered to gain a understanding of the technology issues and problems facing APVs. An alternative propulsion vehicle does not rely on a internal combustion (IC) engine as its primary power source. Three types of vehicles were evaluated in this task. They are: Electric vehicles(EVs); Hybrid vehicles; Roadway powered electric vehicles(RPEVs).
