• Abstract:
  Successful deployment of an AHS requires examination of all operational scenarios and associated operational elements under which an AHS will be utilized. The promise and the nature of automated highways, which involve instrumentation through electronic means, requires consideration of applications completely different from those associated with the way we operate and maintain our existing highway systems. For example, a fully instrumented infrastructure is subject to a wider range of preventive maintenance repairs and supervisory control as compared to existing highways. Due to the fact that the representative system configurations (RSCs) vary in characteristics of infrastructure, communication, command and control, and vehicle type, the AHS roadway operational analysis is subject to a range of issues and impacts. Assuming the evolutionary deployment of AHS, there are no show stoppers or operational barriers with regard to AHS deployment.
