Abstract:

Increasing the safety of travel is a principal goal for an AHS and one of the baseline assumptions on which this study is based. Establishing the safety parameters and manner in which vehicle, highway, and human failures can be moderated to produce the minimum harm is likely to be one of the main drivers in selection of AHS architectures and system/vehicle implementations. A good understanding of the issues must be developed early in the program. The importance of this malfunction management and analysis task cannot be overestimated. Normal operation of the AHS will significantly increase public safety by removing the driver from the loop, thus eliminating more than 80 percent of accidents which are caused by improper driving. An AHS will compliment or supplant freeways and thus must provide a level of safety greater than driver-operated vehicles on these already relatively safe roads currently enjoy. Introduction of the AHS also introduces a potential new cause of accidents—malfunction of the AHS. This study seeks to increase safety by identifying and analyzing the possible malfunctions associated with an AHS, and developing strategies to handle these malfunctions. This document type is resource materials.
