The effect on driving performance of using a speed, steering, and gap control system (SSGCS) and a collision warning system (CWS) was assessed in an experiment conducted in the Iowa Driving Simulator. Driving performance data were obtained from 52 drivers -- 32 of whom drove with both systems, and 20 controls who did not have access to either. Resu

It is widely believed that barriers to an automated highway system (AHS) deployment are due more to institutional, economic, and legal issues than technology limitations. In order to sustain and accelerate the AHS deployment process, it is desirable to demonstrate the benefits of advanced vehicle control systems (AVCS) as soon as possible. An ideal
