Safety and Throughput Analysis of Automated Highway Systems
We investigate the e ect of a number of design alternatives on the safety and capacity of an Automated Highway System. Our methodology makes use of two computational tools, designed to highlight the fundamental limitations of the vehicle dynamics, sensing and control strategies and inter-vehicle communication. The rst tool produces the minimum spacing necessary for two vehicles not to collide, ...
متن کاملAn integrated development process for automated or driver- assist vehicles
We describe the methodology, tools and technologies for designing and implementing communication and control systems for networked automated or driver assist vehicles. In addressing design, we discuss enabling methodologies and our suite of enabling computational tools for formal modeling, simulation, and implementation. We illustrate our description with design, development and implementation ...
