Abstract:

This activity analyzes the technical and operational requirements of an AHS in urban and rural environments. The characteristics of urban freeways and rural highways are compared to define common issues and risks and indicate areas of divergence in compatible system implementations. The comparison addresses three major areas: the trade among the goals of automated control in urban versus rural environments; the distinct operating characteristics of AHS subsystems in rural highways; and the design considerations for several AHS-specific elements. The issues and risks concerning the most cost-effective approach to instrumentation content in terms of the control loop dynamics and potential market penetration in both environments are identified.
