Abstract:This activity is performed in order to derive benefits from past experience in the design, implementation, deployment, and operation of comparable systems that could be applied to Automated Highway Systems (AHS). The activity identifies 12 existing systems that share a number of characteristics with AHS. Public interaction, safety, reliability, and complexity are emphasized. Three systems, the Bay Area Rapid Transit system, automotive air bag systems, and the TRAVTEK automotive navigation system, were chosen for analysis in detail. Lessons learned in the development and deployment of these systems offer insight into appropriate techniques for technical systems specifications, verification of system performance, initial pre-deployment, quality assurance, human factors, and maintenance. Non-technical issues are also explored including the effects of political pressure and management/funding philosophy. Concerns about privacy, liability and public confidence are also examined.
