Abstract:The program described by this eight-volume report, a resource materials document type, identified the issues and risks associated with the potential design, development, and operation of an Automated Highway System (AHS), a highway system that utilizes limited access roadways and provides "hands off" driving. The AHS effort was conducted by a team formed and directed by the Calspan Advanced Technology Center. Primary Team members included Calspan, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Dunn Engineering Associates, and Princeton University. Supporting members of the team were BMW, New York State Thruway Authority, New York State Department of Transportation, Massachusetts Department of Transportation, the New Jersey Department of Transportation, Boston Research, Vitro Corporation, and Michael P. Walsh of Walsh Associates. Calspan provided overall management and integration of the program and had lead responsibility for 5 of the 17 tasks. Parsons Brinckerhoff provided transportation planning and engineering expertise and had lead responsibility for 5 tasks. Dunn Engineering provided traffic engineering expertise and had lead responsibility on 2 tasks. Princeton supported the areas of transportation planning and automated control. The 17 task reports (A through P plus Representative Systems Configurations) are organized into 8 volumes. This volume describes AHS malfunction management and safety analysis. It covers Malfunction Management and Analysis (Task E), supervised by Philip A. Reynolds of Calspan and supported by Keith Giordano of Calspan and H. Grady Lee of Vitro Corporation; and analysis of AHS Safety Issues (Task N), supervised by Linda O. Parada of Calspan and supported by Mary M. Lloyd, also of Calspan.
