Abstract:

THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) COMMISSIONED THE JET PROPULSION LABORATORY (JPL) TO CONDUCT A STUDY OF AN INSTRUMENTED TEST VEHICLE THAT MAY SATISFY A NUMBER OF REQUIREMENTS FOR NHTSA AS WELL AS OTHERS DOING WORK ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTELLIGENT VEHICLE HIGHWAY SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE CONCEPT WAS NAMED THE VARIABLE DYNAMIC TESTBED VEHICLE (VDTV), DENOTING AN INTENDED TESTING CAPABILITY FOR A RANGE OF DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS.



THIS REPORT IS PUBLISHED IN THREE VOLUMES: VOLUME I IS AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY; VOLUME II CONTAINS THE TECHNICAL RESULTS; VOLUME III IS A SET OF APPENDICES. IN THIS VOLUME, SECTION 2 DESCRIBES A QUESTIONNAIRE SENT TO POTENTIAL VDTV USERS EARLY IN THE STUDY, AND PROVIDES THE RESULTS. SECTION 3 CONCENTRATES ON THE IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT OF USERS AND THEIR PERCEIVED NEEDS, AND THE BENEFITS OF VDTV IN MEETING THESE NEEDS. SECTION 4 PROVIDES A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A FULL-CAPABILITY VDTV THAT WOULD SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED IN THE USER ASSESSMENT. SECTION 5 THEN LOOKS AT SEVERAL IMPLEMENTATION ALTERNATIVES AND PROVIDES AN ESTIMATE OF COST, BENEFITS AND RISKS OF VARIOUS ACQUISITION APPROACHES THAT INCLUDE VEHICLES WITH LESS THAN FULL CAPABILITY. SECTION 6 IDENTIFIES CERTAIN UNRESOLVED ISSUES THAT AROSE DURING THE STUDY, AND SECTION 7 CLOSES WITH THE PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS OF THE STUDY. SECTION 8 IS A LIST OF REFERENCES.
