Book excerpt: The Automated Highway System (AHS) program component of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is a broad national effort to provide the basis for, and transition to, the next major performance upgrade of the U.S. vehicle/highway system, through the use of automated vehicle control technology. As part of the Analysis Phase, the Precursor System Analysis (PSA) was performed to identify issues and risks associated with AHS. This contract overview report addressed part of Activity "F" for Commercial and Transit Aspects and Activity Area "O": for Institutional and Societal Issues. In Activity Area "F", many areas were researched including: European mechanical/electronic guided bus state of the art technology summarization, motor carrier market segmentation by specific AHS Cluster Map descriptions, Dual Mode Transit prototypical applications for AHS, and right of way needs for Motor Carrier/Transit vehicles at stations/mainline locations. There is a correlation between the extent of standardization on the one hand and complexity of the ASH on the other. The more the characteristics of vehicles are subjected to rules and standardized, the less the expenditure for integrating an ASH into vehicles and guiding them automatically. The recommended concept is to allow ASH Transit to be developed on a parallel path, while at the same time, ensuring that its technology development program be subset of the larger ASH research effort. In Activity Area "O", Institutional and Societal Issues of ASH, many areas were researched including: previous research, focus group research/conduction/analysis, and institutional issues. The early tasks involved the review of literature and presentations on institutional concerns as they relate to ASH. Later tasks developed focus groups that raised concerns and allowed for "trial ballooning" of potential solutions of such concerns. ASH will have significant effects upon interstate commerce. Institutional issues relating to commercial operators and those that enforce safety and economic regulations on the operators will be chief among those with critical potential problems stemming from deployment of AHS. How those costs are allocated between industry and the different levels of government, and the effect of the costs on user fee and tax programs are key institutional issues.

If major high speed segments of the AHS network could be provided which guarantee high performance operations. with the cost of those segments borne by budgets beyond the transit sector, significant cost savings could result compared with presently available technology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This activity addresses highway infrastructure topics that will be encountered when an automated highway system (AHS) is deployed. AHS right-of-way requirements were analyzed, based on the following criteria: width of AHS vehicle, ability of the system to keep the vehicle on the desired path, barrier width (for dedicated systems), presence or absence of shoulder (breakdown lane), and width of the shoulder. AHS capacity was established by utilizing traffic densities based on platoon sizes, inter-platoon spacings, and intra-platoon spacing. Inter-platoon spacing considered several failure assumptions and the requirement that interplatoon spacing provide safe braking distances based on the failure assumptions. Based on this analysis, it is concluded that AHS capacities as high as 6,000 vehicles per lane per hour would be feasible. This established the range of capacity used in further Precursor Systems Analyses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents a study of Institutional and Societal Aspects of Automated Highway Systems (AHS) for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). This study covers one of sixteen activity areas in FHWA's program "Precursor Systems Analysis of Automated Highways." Automated highway systems (AHS) will likely incur the most institutional, legal and societal impediments of any IVHS user service. The basic assumptions for an AHS include a reduction in the level of personal control individual drivers have over their vehicles. Several non-technical, but critical issues have been examined that will help identify and develop the institutional frameworks required to deal with AHS. These issues include vehicle/operator certification, product liability, project financing and the impact of AHS on other transportation services and land use development patterns. This study was based on an integrated "legal-technical" perspective of the institutional and societal aspects of AHS in a systems analysis that is grounded in actual implementation experience. Insight is presented into institutional problems at the state and local level by focusing on planning and operations processes and multi-jurisdictional issues. Potential financing alternatives are examined as well as evolutionary deployment strategies. Recommendations on preferred institutional frameworks for the various AHS concepts are also discussed.
