• Abstract:
  A research was conducted to evaluate a dedicated automated truck lane along a case study route 60 (Pomona ; Freeway) to accommodate higher truck volume using AHS technologies and to estimate the associated costs of ; such technologies. A cost analysis was performed for the automated truck lanes, for both directions of a 37.8 ; miles segment of SR-60 to carry the year 2020 projected truck volumes. ; It was established that the estimated costs for the automated truck lanes is $1.37 billion and because of the ; higher pipe line capacity of the automated truck traffic lane, only one lane is required in each direction to carry ; the year 2020 traffic. It was also found that the benefit to-cost ratio of the automated truck lane is 3.09 for ; carrying the year 2020-truck volumes. This is primarily because of the low initial capital cost of automated truck ; lanes ($1.37 billion).
