• 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).
