RADIO INTERFERENCE MEASUREMENTS

FREEDOM FROM NOISE-INDUCED ERRORS IS A NECESSARY REQUIREMENT FOR AN EFFECTIVE ROUTE GUIDANCE SYSTEM, SINCE EXCESSIVE SYSTEM ERRORS WILL RAPIDLY ERODE USER CONFIDENCE IN THE SYSTEM. THE RESULTS OF A SERIES OF NOISE SUSCEPTIBILITY MEASUREMENTS MADE IN SELECTED AREAS WHERE STRONG NOISE AND INTERFERENCE FIELDS WERE KNOWN TO EXIST ARE DESCRIBED AND DISCUSSED, USING THE NOISE AND INTERFERENCE MEASURING INSTRUMENTATION. MEASUREMENTS MADE IN THE KOKOMO, INDIANA AREA AT FOUR SELECTED NOISY LOCATIONS INDICATE THAT AN ELECTRONIC ROUTE GUIDANCE SYSTEM WOULD OPERATE WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT NOISE-INDUCED ERRORS AT ALL FOUR TEST SITES. /FHWA/
