Abstract:The check-in activity is one of 16 areas addressed as part of the "Precursor Systems Analyses of Automated Highway Systems (AHS)" study. The objective of this activity area is to identify major requirements, issues, and risks associated with ensuring that a vehicle and its operator can safely enter the AHS. In addition, the results of this precursor analysis provide insights into the technologies, design, deployment, operation and practicality of the automated check-in element of an AHS. The focus of this study is on identifying the requirements, issues and risks associated with alternative approaches for performing automatic check-in to an AHS. The purpose of the check-in process is to ensure safe entry onto the AHS and safe and efficient operation while on the highway. An understanding of the information required at check-in to make these determinations was developed, and the potential system approaches for obtaining this information were investigated as a means for identifying potential requirements, issues, and risks. Special emphasis is placed on evaluating aircraft flight test technology and check approaches analogous to systems for AHS check-in.
