Automated Highway Systems (AHS)

چکیده
The idea of vehicle-highway communications sufficient to assume driving functions for the driver is not new. Researchers have articulated both its value and feasibility for several decades; and military and vehicle manufacturer test facility developments have proven the concept’s viability. As mounting congestion conflicts with environmental constraints, the Automated Highway System (AHS) promise of doubling our existing highway system’s capacity is worth investigating.

متن کاملA Functional Architecture for Automated Highway Traffk Planning
In a fully automated Automated Highway System (AHS), the roadside control system and the vehicles themselves are responsible for moving the large number of vehicles safely and efficiently. Therefore, the task of operating an AHS is drastically different from and much more complex than its conventional counterpart. Resulting from a large number of design options, there exist many possible ways t...
متن کاملDynamic Traffic Assignment for Automated Highway Systems: A Two-lane Highway with Speed Constancy
Dynamic traffic assignment through analytical modeling and optimization has been widely accepted by the IVHS R&D community as a promising traffic control tool for understanding and relieving traffic congestion on conventional highways and city streets. Due to the completely controlled nature of AHS traffic, dynamic assignment of AHS traffic is even more promising. One added dimension of complex...
متن کاملCapacity Analysis of Traffic Flow Over a Single-Lane Automated Highway System
We calculate bounds on per-lane Automated Highway System (AHS) capacity as a function of vehicle capabilities and control system information structure. We assume that the AHS lane is dedicated for use by fully automated vehicles. Capacity is constrained by the minimum inter-vehicle separation necessary for safe operation. A methodology for deriving the safe minimum inter-vehicle separation for ...

8.1 Discussion The automated highway system envisioned by researchers and institutions around the world suggests a complex structure that requires extensive research efforts. Among many issues, the realization of AHS depends mainly upon the realization of intelligent vehicle control methods. No matter what design approach is taken for vehicle control, there are two important issues that will ‘h...
